Day Fifteen, January 21st: Snowflakes are like magic. I could watch them fall, trace their microscopic shapes with my eyes when they land for hours.

Day Thirteen, January 19th: This may not look like much, but I cleaned my office and found the name wheel my BFF made me when I told her I had the worst time coming up with character names.

Day Eleven, January 17th: One of the things I love about the kids’ staggered school schedule is the time I get alone with them - mornings with Ro, and afternoons with Mak, here at Soup for You.

Day Ten, January 16th: Temple Stream in East Wilton. Every time I see it, I think it can’t be more beautiful than right now…until the next time I see it.

Day Four, January 10, 2012: Hey, look! It’s the moon! And you can’t tell from this crappy picture, but it was huge and orange and so close it seemed you could take a bite out of it. Lovely.

Day One, January 7: Being back in Maine means lots of blankets. I love the way the sunlight looks on my quilt in the morning.

who am i & how did i get here?

I'm a graduate of the University of Maine at Farmington's BFA English program in Creative Writing, and I'm a recent Master's candidate from the English-Creative Writing program at the University of Hawaii. I was also the editor of the Sandy River Review during my last year at UMF (google it, you won't be disappointed...at least you won't be if the website works).

I'll post a story (WARNING: It may occasionally still be a work in progress), you'll (hopefully) read the story, and leave civil (again, hopefully) comments, feedback, etc.

I work with Fiction and Creative Non-Fiction (yes, that does still mean it "really happened"), so look for a bit of everything if this goes well, sometimes I even pretend to write poetry (I say "pretend" because it feels pretentious to actually admit I do when I'm really not that great at it). Thanks for coming along for the ride!
