About Me

I'm pretty lazy. I homeschool my 5 naughty kids, write stuff, do dishes, put away laundry, cook stuff and give unsolicited opinions. I stay young-looking by eating food with preservatives and not taking off my mascara before I go to bed.

Articles as Babies

Yeah, I know I have five actual children. I love every single one of 'em, too. Sometimes, though, I liken my articles and essays to children. The writing process is often like growing a baby and going through labor. When a piece is published, it's like the excitement of childbirth. I'm not trying to take away from the miracle of having children; just saying you can be passionate about two things at once (or three, if you count your spouse!).

I'd love to hear about your writing processes and victories! Write me!
