| Introduction | Well, apparently, you can have multiple blogs, but you can't have multiple profiles. So this one will have to suffice for every site. My Finding My Voice persona says: My dream is to get paid to sing. That dream is slightly complicated by two things: 1) I'm not a big fan of singing in public, and 2) Not many people get paid to sing. I figure, I'll focus on 1, and then maybe 2 will take care of itself. In the meantime, I'm a writer and editor. Mostly, I write and edit for other people, but someday, I'll find a way to get paid to write solely what I want to write. Until then, here we are. I write what I want, and you, hopefully, read it. But even if you don't, it's still the ultimate ego-trip. My The Cookie Queen's English persona says: It's always good to have more than one dream. And one of my others is to open a bakery someday. A cookie bakery. Hence my blog The Cookie Queen's English, a chronicle of cookies ... and the occasional muffin ... and scone ... and ... . And craigslist is crushing my writerly soul, which, really, needs no further explanation, does it? |
