For as long as I can remember I have been scribbling in journals and notebooks and even on napkins. By second grade I had a tattered Strawberry Shortcake binder that I dragged everwhere and filled with poems which no doubt elequently expressed the angst of a seven year old. Until now, I have generally kept my writing to myself -- perhaps too timid and too vulnerable to share it with the world. I have finally decided to teeter over and dip my toes in the edge of the massive and somewhat intimidating whirlpool that is the blogosphere. Please feel free to join me as I happily attempt to doggie paddle in the shallow end of creative writing!
