Pictures add interest to "About" pages.

I've been a writer ever since 7th grade English class, where our teacher told us that the first ten minutes of each class would be spent writing in a journal.

"What should we write about?" I asked.

"You can write about whatever you want," she replied.

"You mean..." my 12 year-old brain struggled to understand, "... we could even write stories?"

"That would be great. In fact why don't we have a story writing competition where we all write stories and we vote on the best one?"

So my friends and I all started stories in our 'journals.' Miss Milton would take them every day and write a little response in the margins. Phrases like "Interesting!" and "I can't wait to see what happens next!" kept me feverishly adding to my little nothing-stories.

Now, 20+ years later, I continue to write like it's an addiction.

This blog is the place where I write about writing. It's very meta, right?
