About Me

  • About Me: I'm a writer, but I'm also a reader. I can be a bit of a literary snob, but I know what I like. I'm very analytical, but that doesn't mean I'm always serious. In fact, I'll be the first to crack a joke. My humor can be quite dry. And, by all things caffeinated, I am hopelessly addicted to coffee. I am here to write--about writing, about life, or about that creepy guy I always see at the local coffee shop. He always sits in the corner and stares at me like I'm his last meal. If nothing else, my life inspires me.
