What I’m not is someone who takes herself too seriously. I save “serious” for my work.
I’m a devoted partner to a traveling rollercoaster salesman & mother to two beautiful elementary-school-aged kids. When I say I’m a compulsive warm-beverage drinker it’s just shy of hyperbole. There are three +50,000-word novel drafts in my hard-drive that I’ll be revisiting during this year’s NaNoWriMo. I obsess over capturing “small things” with my camera – when I’m able to pry it from my son’s hands. Every moment seems to have a theme song in my mind, which is a mixed blessing. You’ll rarely find me without a package of baby wipes and a ceramic travel mug.
Presently focusing on the moment. Specifically this one. Join me.
