: About Me

Wow, I was long overdue for a biography update.

I am a single mom struggling to make ends meet and looking for enough work to support myself and my toddler daughter. We intend to move back to the Chicago area, where I will be completing my MLIS.   Aside from artwork and writing, I also love to sing, listen to music, read, play video games, watch movies, learn new things on the Internet, and play with my daughter.

My passion is ...

I could never narrow it down to just one passion!

I know too much about ...

One can never know too much...aside from things requiring the Witness Protection Program...

My parents always told me ...

clean your room!

My childhood ambition ...

I wanted to be a doctor...then an opera singer...then a horticulturalist/botanist...then an actress/artist/creative consultant/director/editor/producer/writer/business owner/mother/the very model of a modern major general

My favorite memory ...

my daughter waking me up my poking me in the eye and grinning

Why I write ...

For me, writing is like breathing-if I am not writing, I am not living

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

I'm reading books on advertising and telecommuting, watching whatever I can get on youtube, and listening to whatever happens to be playing

My first job ...

I babysat children whose parents were friends with my mother

My best moment ...

holding my daughter for the first time.

My inspiration ...

Life is my inspiration-if I am not interacting with other living creatures, it is difficult to be inspired to do anything!

28 of 106

In my purse you'll find books And a mirror to check upon my looks And possibly a bit of foundation And half-finished plans for a vacation There's a notebook for my deepest thoughts Pens and pencils crammed in every space And this thought leaves me quite distraught: My purse is really a briefcase!
