Kaylee Winter: CMU student introduces herself

“Every secret of a writer’s soul, every experience of his life, every quality of his mind, is written large in his works.” -Virginia Woolf

Writing has always been something that I have had a passion for. It has helped me throughout hard times by letting me write down and express how I feel and has given me a way to remember parts of my life that have later become stories to look back on.

I am a junior at Central Michigan University, majoring in journalism and minoring in business administration. I am a writer for Grand Central Magazine, since the fall of 2018 through now. Writing for Grand Central Magazine has allowed me to have a true experience for writing on a public platform.

My favorite kind of writing is free writing and creative. I also enjoy reading those types of works, as well as mysteries, and romances. I first fell in love with writing when I was in middle school after my parents divorce, as I used writing as a coping method. Since then, I have grown to love it more, and could not imagine having a career where I don’t write full-time.

Since I have such a love for writing, this is my third blog. I have one personal blog, as well as a class photography blog from my basic photography class last semester. This third blog is going to be designed for my introduction to digital journalism class. I am excited for this blog the most because I am learning more about digital journalism and posting more interesting stories, rather than news stories, which is exactly what I want to do in my future.

Down the road, I have goals to either be a crime journalist, or write for a lifestyle magazine. Besides that, I plan to write a book or two, as that has been a dream of mine since I was a little girl.
