i think i have a lot of really great things to say...

...but i am having difficulty finding a forum for all of these wonderful little (actually big) ideas about life, love, writing.  my best friend (Alison Kendrick) encouraged me to start a blog...this would get my ideas out, my thoughts on the page, my name out in the open.  

i am a writer.

these days, i don't do a lot of writing, after a whirlwind year of finishing graduate school (MFA in Creative Writing), moving, getting married and buying a house, i took the year off to regroup creatively...then i got knocked up.  any desire/plan to write during those first three months was sucked away with the rest of my energy/brain/life by the little human growing inside of me.  i am sure in the next few months many of these blogs will be about this wonderful adventure i am embarking on...but it is my intent that this blog will serve as a gateway into my creativity...and hopefully i'll dazzle all y'all!!!

so this is my introduction...i promise my next entries will be more interesting...and thanks  Alison!   you encourage me and hopefully one day something will happen!
