Neurotic, fickle, and afflicted with "scheme of the week" in terms of my life plan. I manage a specialty foods department and I just finished my MBA, but not sure what for... yet. Been a closet writer all my life but just now trying it out as a thing to do. |
My goal is to write a fantasy novel. In the meantime, I write a lot of creative nonfiction. Some poetry. And blog. |
Concise, sarcastic, easy to read and meant to transport you to the protagonist's point of view. |
