Writing
Originally wanting to solely be a comic book writer, I decided to branch into literary writing to explore writing styles by attending Columbia College Chicago.
During that time, I've gotten reacquainted with the APA format and editing, gaining a fondness for interviewing and writing reviews. I've also developed my writing technique and discovered that some of my comic ideas fair better in the written format compared to the comic format, telling the story in a new light.
Focusing on my literary skills helped me grow as a storyteller and developed a new understanding of the craft that I'll continue to nourish.
