Welcome

This is my sparkly new blog.

I'll be honest. I started thinking that now might not be the best time to start  a blog. I've been in a writing and editing frenzy, I'm about to go back to school, I've got a one year old,  a six year old, a neglected man, a hamster who basically lives in a plastic tub, and a full time job.

Then I realized that now is the perfect time to start a blog. Because it's right now.

So without any knowledge of blogging or what I am going to blog about- I started one. It has taken almost an hour to get to 138 words (not kidding, this baby doesn't like productivity happening around her), but I'm doing it.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single word... okay, that's not how it goes, but here's what you can expect in the future-

My experiences. 

I'm a mother, a dancer, and a writer, not necessarily in that order. I can shoot a bow, I can shoot guns, I think it's fun to throw knives. I love to read just about anything that lands in my lap or on my e-reader. I've read enough full length novels on the computer screen to ruin a lesser man's vision. I love beautiful food, especially the plant-based kind (though I'm not vegan... and I'll probably blog about that too).

My works.

Did I mention that I write? One of my goals within the next six months is to have something submission-ready. So I'll be posting chapters, short stories, ideas, etc. for anyone who feels like reading them to comment, critique, or just enjoy.

I'll also post character interviews, setting maps, pretty much anything that gets me in the mood or helps me flesh out those pesky little details like "where was the chair he sat on?"

My rants.

I go off on rants on occasion. I hope you'll find them entertaining when I do.

There's no particular reason for you to stick around if you don't like my words or my worlds. I'm not a bestselling author (yet), I'm not on a book signing tour (yet), I don't have the secret to losing the baby weight by eating dessert first (okay, I do- eat less, exercise more), but maybe you'll stick around and maybe you'll like me. And maybe, just maybe, you'll be here to help me become a bestselling author and maybe I'll see you on a book signing tour and you'll be like "Hey, I've been reading your blog ever since it sucked!" and I'll be like ... "You rock. Here's $50."
