Education and Experience
Kit Flynn: Profile
Writing is my passion. I make sense of the world by writing about it and always have. From my first journal in 1971 at the age of 13, I was hooked on creative writing and poetry. I’ve self-published stories in a four volume Anthology collection, chapbooks, published articles in the local and national newspapers and now I am writing the book, Ordinary Mary.
