About me

Gender Female
Location New York, United States
Introduction Rearranging the misaligned; clearing out the cobwebs that the family leaves behind. If I may quote Anne Sexton: " A woman like that is not a woman, quite. I have been her kind". Writing is my hobby, and my salvation.It has been throughout my entire life. Getting things out of my system is a necessity, like water and air. When I see things as separate entities and at a distance they become easier to understand. Writing puts my life at a safe distance.It becomes something for me to look at, analyze and process. Only then can I put things in their proper place. It's my way of control. I have a problem with control. Too much one way and not enough in another. I have my own rhythm when I write and humor is by far the secret to getting through each sentence. I write until I get it right. Many of the names have been changed to protect the innocent, and to protect me from the not so innocent.

The squish of mud between your toes; how would you live your life as a frog?

Cozy up to the mud. Surround myself with mud. Smear it all over my face and body so that I'll glow. And then just sit on a rock and wait for bugs.
