Over the years, I've been called many things: Sassy * Scoop * Editor * Big Red * Nosy * Poet * Twinkletoes * Mommy * Dreamer * Chatterbox * Sweetheart * Politico * Wordsmith * Digital Diva * Lover * Fighter * Scrapper * Scooter * Tech Writer * Genius * Hey You. I answer to just about anything.

Things that have had a profound effect on my life are: Khalil Gibran ~ horses of a different color ~ playground politics ~ spontaneous combustion ~ sandalwood incense ~ tie-dye T-shirts ~ All the President's Men ~ time warps ~ tales of a sordid nature ~ hot August nights ~ abnormal psychology ~ pretzel logic ~ rocky mountain highs ~ integrated circuits.

My hobbies include spotting typos in menus, programs, and signs for traveling museum displays; I also adopt stray penguins. Currently, I gain inspiration for my writing through creativity exercises generated from studying Rorschach inkblots, memorizing thesaurus entries, and practicing astral projection.
