My Bio
When I was three, I dictated a story to my preschool teacher. I'm going to have to see if my parents still have it, I know they found it a few years ago but downsizing may have ended that confounding tale of preschooler logic. I honestly don't know when I wrote the first story that had logical sense to it of the kind that adults could read, probably about the same time I could follow adult logic. There really never was a 'start' to my writing, it was always a part of me. I do know I was writing comprehensible stories when I was twelve, when I would borrow my dad's work laptop and then save the files to a floppy disk and hide the disk. My family called it my "Secret Writings", and it became a family joke that I was never willing to share. These days, I understand how hard it is to share what I write. Those who don't write don't seem to understand there's part of me poured out on that page. I expect if I ever write a memoir about writing, I'll call it Secret Writings, but that's neither here nor there before I've completed a manuscript to my satisfaction.

I may have failed to mention that I started a blog recently, and I am attempting to follow a blog challenge designed by someone I discuss writing with on a Discord server. It's a good attempt, and while my day to day success is still mitigated by migraines, I think it will be a wonderful project overall that gets me in a habit of writing new stories for the best reason of all: because I can. If I can start scheduling posts ahead of time while my mind is functioning, and get in the habit of doing so, all will be golden. Anyway... I began with a straightforward explanation of why I write (the blog challenge's first instruction), but come a wee

So, uh... hi? I feel like I'm sneaking in the back door and pretending I'm not late to the party, here. Oops.  It's been years since I posted here, and the last few entries in my journal were just reposts of useful links and resources (which don't really count in my mind as updates of anything). I've been away, and now I'm considering poking around again. I likely don't know anyone who's still around from before my sabbatical (yeah, that's what we'll call it =p), and frankly I went and deleted all the notifications in my message center because I couldn't even begin to wade through the nearly 4,000 messages. I guess I really have been gone awh

No, it may not be November, but it's still time to write like crazy, at least for those of us who do that sort of thing. I'm having trouble deciding if I am going to participate or not... I keep trying and failing. At least with Camp NaNo, you can set your own goal, instead of the 50K craziness of November. (I approve of this.) Are you one of the many writers planning to work feverishly for a month on one of the programs being run, or a similar one of your own creation? (The list includes Camp NaNoWriMo, NaPoWriMo, Screnzy, and more.) If you're interested, you should check out the links below, most of which I grabbed straight from :devcrlite
