I used to write for a small arts and entertainment magazine and am hoping to expand into other areas and not be as restricted in my content. I am originally from South Dakota but now live in Minnesota with my boyfriend, my excessively large grey cat, a new kitten, 1 fish, a duck, (who lives outside) and 110 lb. black lab...I am not sure how exactly that happened. I love this site and am so glad it exists!!! Thanks again!
