About me

Gender Female
Location United States
Introduction I am a recently new mom of a gorgeous little girl named Madeline (pronounced like Madelyn with the old school spelling). I'm married to a fantastic man whom I love more and more every day. In Fall 2011, I will be returning to school to continue my Applied Science for Diagnostic Medical Sonography and Liberal Arts degrees. I'm busy, I'm happy, and I'm trying to stay productive and on top of everything. We'll see how that goes.

I've been writing since before I knew how, making up stories or following the pictures in books to create my own story when I couldn't find anyone to read it for me. I have been told that I should be a professional author for many years, and though I have often felt the same, it has not been until recently, that I have taken this idea seriously.

I have two blogs, and I'm not the best at the whole blogging thing, as of yet. I'm hoping to get better disciplined with it all. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy my ravings, rants, wishes, and whines.

Interests Writing, reading, photography, travel, art, music, video games, movies, storytelling, living and loving life and then some.
