: About Me

As I am a starving artist, I encourage any of my followers to help me survive while writing my books; http://igg.me/p/54533?a=329425, please help my campaign for my latest book.

Currently, I am attending college full time to obtain my Masters degree in English. I have been an active member of Helium for well over two years. My most recent accomplishment was graduating from an online writing course at the 'Long Ridge Writers Group' (http://www.longridgewritersgroup.com/), where I was under the expert tuttelage of writer Bob Vardeman. Now, after graduating, I am in the midst of my second online workshop with Long Ridge, in hopes that the completion of this novel will score my first book deal.

I am an aspiring Novelist, and Helium has become for me a very therapeutic arena in which I may focus on my talents. I have met some wonderful people on Helium, and I hope that it continues to grow.

On a personal note, I am a proud granddaughter, daughter, sister, and (my favorite title) aunt. I have two beautifully, wonderful neices, that I adore, and one teriffic nephew that I have been in love with since we met, and now a brand new nephew to love! I have two younger sisters who are fun, and yes, at times I do consider them 'laughingstocks'. I have two cousins who have contributed to this site, as well as a wonderful grandmother whom I love very much.

I have many hobbies, I am in the midst of trying to teach myself Latin (which is so not easy), I have taught myself calligraphy, and I am a dreamer. I love music of all kinds, including artists: Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Michael Buble', Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin. But I do love country music, and am especially drawn to Tanya Tucker and the late, great Conway Twitty. Though my absolute favorite person in the world is actress Stockard Channing.

I am addicted to the television, and have television shows that I can not miss. 'The West Wing', and my absolute addiction; 'Bones'. I am also sad to admit that I do dabble in a bit of reality TV consumption. To counter that, I love to attend plays, especially of the Broadway variety and recently have begun to enjoy traveling, which I intend to do much more of in the near future.

I also collect Playbills featuring Stockard Channing, so if anybody has any, please let me know! They are very elusive!

My passion is ...

Learning, writing, reading, and everything Stockard Channing related.

Politics, News & Issues > US Leaders Does congress have the ability to solve America's problems?

2 of 6

For Occupy DC: A letter to Congress Democracy isn’t meant to work quickly. With three branches attempting to work together while providing checks and balances, one can only expect for decisions to come with some deliberation. But these are dangerously precarious times, and some situations must be met with action.  There are times in the recent past that action was achieved quickly, where huge concessions were made to promote what was good for the American people, even if there were some blatantly terrible things riding through on legislation at the same time. The Patri...
