Letting people read my work is empowering, but i'm not disciplined. I start I lot I never finish.I like classic literature and locals Grisham and Jan Karon. I'm addicted to Y&R, a trashy, but catchy show, rewriting the story lines in my head.I'm one of those people Garrison Keillor calls worthless, an English major. I dream of using language the way a painter uses canvas, or a photographer uses film--to freeze one moment in time as unique, beautiful and awesome.I'm divorced from an alcoholic, never had kids, and live with my widowed dad, who still works and does our shopping in his 80's. I have an office job in a huge hospital.
