Day 4 #PitchDis Resilience is probably the most common theme in my books. Doing everything you must to survive. No matter what you’re up against. 😅 probably says more than I would like it to about my own life😅🤣

Hello I'm Carmen, I am a neurodivergent & disabled writer who also suffers from a chronic illness. I write every moment that I can, I also write in different genres and believe it or not my brain injury helps me do this! lol I'm excited for #pitchdis this year I just can't wait! #ya #mg #a #fantasy

While I've been a writer my whole life, I have been writing nearly full time since 2016. I have written fourteen novels since 2016 two of those I wrote this year alone. Writing is my passion and what makes me happy every day.
