About me

Gender Female
Industry Arts
Occupation Writer/ Psych-Social & Sex Educator
Location San Diego, CA, United States
Introduction NEEDS to write. Why? Because it's the way to travel to the furthest reaches of our imaginations. Because a talent unused grows flabby and useless. If you listen, you may hear the song everybody needs to sing. Some of us need more words than notes...so we write. I write of things I love, fascinating people, cabbages and kings. I am a geek, an advocate and a story addict!
Interests I have a severe story addiction...so if it's got a story, I'm there! Oh, along with peace on earth and good will toward men.
