About Me
- About Me: I often carry an inaccurate view about who I am, so I'll leave it up to you to decide what I'm like. Obscure facts about me: married before college--my husband and I completed our freshman year together; the rest of expensive schooling is currently on hold until further funds. Married for love; wasn't pregnant or kicked out or anything. 5 years of wedded bliss thus far, and 3 kids under the age of 4. Craziness! I'm a writer. I like writing essays, articles, children's stories, short stories, and descriptions. Also interested in nonfiction and fantasy fiction. Not sure what is a good fit for me. All I know is God made me to write. I am also a Christian--and don't assume you know what that means. Ask me about it.
