About this time last year I was stuck in my faith. I couldn’t hear God and he seemed to be ignoring me. I’ve since discovered Him in a new way.
About this time last year I was stuck on my novel. It technically wasn’t even a novel. I’ve since finished it at 68,000, edited most of it and gotten 60,000 into a new novel. About this time last year I couldn’t wait to grow up. I wanted to do things. Things I didn’t think I could accomplish at my age. I’ve since completed three college classes, gotten my driver’s permit (haven’t killed anyone yet J) and started a Bible study with my cousin. About this time last year I knew what I wanted to do. I’ve wanted to do it since I was seven. But I couldn’t see any way to do it. I was only fifteen, and fifteen-year-olds didn’t get to travel to places across the globe to tell people about Jesus. I had no steady income, no way of getting the money to send me overseas. I’ve since been working on raising money for a mission's trip to Baja, Mexico through my church. 2015 has been a…year. I’ve changed a lot over the past year in ways that I’d never expected when I stayed up until midnight to celebrate the beginning of 2015, toasting the new year with orange juice in wine glasses, watching miniature fireworks over Pikes Peak with good friends over Skype. And I’m glad for the change. I’m falling deeper in love with God. I’m writing a book that I hope will help people. I feel better equipped for life, grown up, with a semester of college under my belt. I’ve changed so much and it makes me eager to see what the next year will hold. Here’s to 2016 and more change for the better!

About Me!Hannah writes to satisfy her imagination. She's written six books so far--five of which need to be rewritten--and is working on a seventh. She ranges through a variety of genres, but favors contemporary YA, fixing broken characters. She wants to use her writing to change people and bring hope. She's currently going to college for Nursing and that takes up most of her writing time. She's a rather stereotypical writer, talking to imaginary friends, eavesdropping on people at the store, secretly being nosy, stashing herself away in her room with a paper and pen and chocolate and her teddy bear. She loves Jesus, the way the morning smells, her family of seven (four siblings), old movies, fairy tales, candles at night and helping people. She writes on another blog at nerdywriter.blogspot.com to hopefully build her chances of publication. My Author Site:Archives
