About me

If you were to throw up your hands in exasperation and yell "it's the story of my life," what would you be talking about?
It's when there is no cake...or ice cream...or blanket...or toilet paper...or chair...etc. left for me because I let everyone else go first. I'm an incurable martyr. Can't seem to stop being nice. Don't really mind most of the time, though.

Besides SMITH, I read stories at:
babble.com,
inthemotherhood.com,
literarymama.com,
wow-womenonwriting.com

In bed I like to read:
six-word memoir books of course!
my writer-friends' stories for critiquing;
classic novels I didn't actually read in high school (thanks to Cliff's Notes);
magazines like 'Time', 'Parenting', and 'Writer's Digest'

My favorite story of all time is:
"The Gift of the Magi"
(by O. Henry aka William Sydney Porter)

Right now, I'm reading:
Star Wars: The Complete Visual Dictionary; The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People;
