Where to start? I am probably the most boring person you could meet. Other than loving books and writing, I have a big love for music. I like all kinds of music. Just depends on my mood as to what I might be listening to at any moment. I listen to most of my music on either www.iheartradio.com or www.pandora.com.
Most of my passion lies with my writing. I have been writing for myself since I was in the 9th grade. I graduated in 2002, so that tells you how long I have been writing. My first work never made it anywhere except in a pile of rubble after my childhood home burnt in the summer of 2000.
After we got settled into our new home I tried to rewrite everything I had finished only months before. My dad had seen it and read some of it and make some snide remarks about it. I my pride was shattered and I quit rewriting. It took me until recently to feel like it was time to start rewriting. This time it is a lot different for me. I am more mature and have a lot different point of view than what I had before.
Aside from writing I spend my days with my 2 little ones. I have a five-year-old boy and a two-year-old girl. As you may have guessed we are in the midst of potty training. Mainly, I am pulling my hair out and chasing them all day and watching PBS, Disney channel, and whatever other channels I allow them to watch during the day. That is just for the next few weeks. My oldest will start his first day of school in just a few short weeks, and he will play his first sport. I have a soccer player on my hands.
Because of them I do most of my writing at night after they have been put to bed. If I get time to write during the day, it is because my husband isn't at work. If I'm luck in that, I might get an hour. Really though I only get about 3 hours to work every night. That is what makes my progress some what slow.
I think I got most of my passion for writing from all the books I have read. I am a very avid reader for romance, but I don't write in that genre though. At least not at the moment. I also love to read young adult books. All fiction. I can't stand non-fiction. That is unless it is a blog or something to help me with certain things.
When I'm not writing I am having fun with my family. I have a few t.v. shows i like to watch during the day. Ellen is one of them. Mainly whatever is on ABC from the time I get up in the morning until allow the kids to take it over so I can clean and get things done around the house. If I'm not doing any of that or writing I'm reading. With any luck I can find a quiet place in my home to escape into a fictional world just to getaway from every day stress.
I want to say right now, I have not been publish as of this date 8-11-2013. We come from an average income to lower income family. We don't have much and we don't need much. I don't want anyone to get the impression that we have tons of money. I may stay home, but that doesn't mean we have all the money in the world for me to do so. It is just makes more sense with our family to do so than to pay a daycare hundreds of dollars each week for me to go work a part time job or even a full time job. Around this area most of our full time jobs are 12 hour shifts with rotating shifts and you have to start out at night shift a.k.a. third shift. We don't have many day cares that are open 24 hours all 7 days of the week. Sure there are the grandparents and siblings that might help, but why when we only need to have one of us working providing the things we need. We don't have to have the things we really want. It would be nice, but we don't need tons of stuff.
That is where I get my saying "Someday when we have money we can..." There are a lot of things I want to do too. That is for another time though. If you wish to know more, you can leave me a comment and I will try and get answers back as soon as I can!
