Hello, My name is Courtney. I Own a personal blog entitled ''Here's To You" (herestoyoublog.blogspot.ca), I am a professional advertisement model for "PinkBlitz Magazine", an Independent Arbonne Consultan, And a mother. A few years ago, I started a manuscript for a novel I was working on titled "Unwritten". It generated some interest with the publishing company "Dorrance Publishing", but due to the circumstances at the time, could, unfortunately, not be completed. My writing style is versatile, and I can adapt to just about any topic. I'm looking to write for either another blog, or to try my hand again at fictional stories or novels.
