Writing SAVED MY LIFE! Could it save yours?

I am happy to hear that you can both relate to what I am saying, DuskRaven and Destin. For a while I was beginning to think that I might have been somewhat alone. Writing and reading is just that t...

Just a little about me

My name is Christia Marie Torrio, I am 22 years old and live in Tucson AZ.

The best way that I can describe myself is that I am just a girl who loves to write. I have been writing since I was thirteen years old after I was diagnosed with clinical depression. After surpassing this point in my life writing became a permanent part of it. By no means would I say that I am the greatest writer who ever lived but I think that as long as there are words to express then I will write them down.. whether they are good or bad. Really I just love being able to express myself through writing because I have found that I communicate better that way... seems silly but what can I say.

I am currently attending Pima Community College in Tucson AZ and am pursuing my Associates in Fine Arts Degree in Visual Arts. I graduate from PCC in the Spring of 2009 and then I will begin to attend the University of Arizona where I will continue to pursue a Bachelors in Fine Arts in Visual Communication. Basically, my goal is to become a Graphic Designer and/or Illustrator. Only time will tell.

I also love painting and am an artist at heart. Even becoming fortunate enough to display my work in the Art Incubator Gallery and the Louis Carlos Bernal Gallery in Tucson in 2008. Very exciting!

As of right now, I really do not have much to say about my life, simply because I am just beginning it. All that I know now is that I have a passion for writing and art and hope to one day touch people with what I do. But currently, I am in the process of writing my first Fictional book and it is a very exciting experience so far. I hope to get it published soon along with my book of poetry.

As far as on the web... I manage the group "Sharing Inspiration" here on The Writers Box. I created this group for those who would like to share what inspires them to write. Inspiration comes from all around us and from places we would least expect and so far I love the group and thank every member for joing and participating.

Then I also manage my own social network "All Who Create." I created this social network for people like myself. Who not only love to write but also love photography and art. In most cases, we are not only writers but are all around creators and I wanted a place where all of these aspects could meet in one place. As of right now it is a little slow paced but I am hoping that it will exceed in the furture. If you are interested please check it out.

Nice twist on your name now too. =)

This is a great site to learn about all the different styles of poetry.

I really enjoyed the program when I ran it. Not only can you do graphics with it, it does photo editing as well. It is pretty much the best software out there for what you are trying to do.
At 5:37pm on September 12, 2008, James Waters AKA. NineSpeed said…
The cool thing about this software is you can download walkthroughs for it. It explains and shows you step by step how to do anything you can think of. It is a little daunting at first, but you get used to things pretty quickly.

You want the extreme version if you can find it.
At 5:19pm on September 12, 2008, James Waters AKA. NineSpeed said…
Hey Christie, go online and check out Xara. it is a graphics software. it may do what you are trying to do. I used it to create stickers and other things for my myspace. it does photo editing, text as well as alot of other things.

Hello, I just popped in to see how everyone was doing. I am still on my journey, though my time is now very limited. We have just gone to six and sometimes seven days a week at work. But I will soldier on. I miss all of you very much. I hope you are doing well.
