: About Me

My passion is ...

romance writing.

I know too much about ...

fraud.

My parents always told me ...

nothing. They let me figure everything out. Explains the slow start.

My childhood ambition ...

was to be a writer. Seriously. Ever since I read S.E. Hinton's The Outsiders.

Why I write ...

I write because without it, I could not breathe.

My first job ...

I bagged groceries at Smitty's Grocery.

My best moment ...

So far, winning 2nd place in the "Be the next Downtown Press Girl" contest.

Stand Still Are we forsaken? Or do we ask too much? Or the wrong thing? Or the timing's not right? How can I ask so I'll be answered? How can I step so I'll be a success? Lead me, I beg, eager to follow lay the path clearly so I may follow it lay it well, for I am blind It must feel right beneath my feet be it not buckled or choppy too wide and I will wander too narrow, I will lose the path but most important leave nothing unfinished lest I step into the void or, worse yet, stand still.
