I’ve always loved to write, with pens and ink–and not only stories. I like to put things on paper. Doesn’t really matter what, just things like, “Yes, I am still awesome,” or, “I started unloading the dishwasher; not knowing where to put the dishes, I stopped.”

At times, phrases run through my head, things a character would say or do. If I don’t write them down they come out anyway and I start talking to no one. I began writing so I wouldn’t end up in a padded room. I’m happy to say, I have avoided that room so far. Writing really pays off.

Besides writing, I am also a documentary film editor. Some of my favorite projects have been about mental health, nature, and upstart coffee shops.

I am a fiber arts enthusiast: Knitting, weaving, spinning, Sashiko, macrame. I will happily chat all day about these (all day being, as an introvert, about two to four hours).
