"Make Meaning" -Sabatino Mangini
My name is Danni, that's what I've gone by since I was a baby. I graduated from Newington High School in Connecticut in 2013, so this is my first semester back at school in 5 years. I'm 23 & have a 2 year old Shiba Inu named Keira Mia. I own a Volkswagen Tiquan and after this semester i'm going to be driving it to Arizona because i'm moving there (slightly north of Phoenix) around June or July. I enjoy hiking, kayaking, camping, photography, music festivals, dancing, yoga, and dogs. Stevie Nicks and Billie Ellish are my favorite writers/ composers.
Most of the writing I do is just email, texting, and commenting on social media posts& blogs. I write when I am clear headed and don't feel like there's a million things piling up that I have to complete cause that's when free thinking is at its best for me. I feel like I can honestly write through any emotion. Each emotion is like an individual author in my opinion, if I wrote on the same subject when I am upset and then when I am happy they would be two completely different stories.
I write best in a cozy little nook, when I am sitting at my kitchen table or couch I find that inspiration hardly ever strikes. I always write on my laptop I almost never write on paper unless its in class. I write to understand things better, I write to understand myself better, I write to help others understand better.
My past experiences have shaped my author identity by giving me bias thoughts/ ideas. I hope to erase any preconceived opinions I have in this class and reshape who I am as an author.
