Blogtober 2019 Day 1: This is me

I'm Jessica Carnes, autistic woman writer. I am thirty-one years old, unmarried, and a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. It's been a long hard road for me, as I only got my autism diagnosis last year. But I'm hopeful that one day I can have the kind of life I want; marriage, kids, and a writing career that I can be proud of.

Also, a recent photo of me. Taken during a friend's wedding reception in July. I'm not much of a shutterbug.
