Introduction	i've been a writer for as long as i could write--causing much much stress for my parents who always hoped i'd be a real person with health insurance. i've lived my life like a writer--moving around, working here & there, writing when i could, & doing whatever i could to make sure i had something to write about. having many many romances & an impossible number of heartbreaks. anytime anything bad or questionable happened to me, i'd think, "well, that will make a good story." this attitude got me through so much pain & torment. i have also spent my life trying to evolve. trying to unearth my anger. trying to explore the hills & valleys of my mind. trying to find peace. my pen has been my muse. my every day has been my story. & now i have found myself on the new adventure of motherhood. with 2 young sons i am being redefined. new ideas of feminism, new ideas of independence, new ideas of how to change the world. i remain, always & forever, a work in progress.
