Hello...
Please read my stuff and comment if you're charitable, inspired, or outraged.  Some of my writings are allright however I sometimes create garbage without realizing it.  Most everything is a "work in progress;" I try my best but often have cause to laugh at myself. 

Regardless...here I am:
Learning to seperate the theraputic from the self indulgent.
Striving to integrate nuance and abstract thinking with the cement of my mind.
Seeking a balance.

I am here:
I should clarify that I am from California, but I live somewhere else now.
I've been lots of places and done many things...all adding up to who and where I am today...far from finished with much left to learn.
(Always the existentialist)

Things that interest me, in no particular order:
Books, travel, psychology, drama (not my own), imagination, and finding the right words to make an impact. 

Things that matter to me:
My kids, my husband, my family, peace of mind, good intentions, beautiful words, and decisive action.

What I have learned at StoryWrite so far:
Spell check will only get you so far. The "writing in your head" part doesn't really count. Remember your audience. Irony is harder on paper.
