i've been a writer for as long as i could write--causing much much stress for my parents who always hoped i'd be a real person with health insurance.  i've lived my life like a writer--moving around, working here & there, writing when i could, & doing whatever i could to make sure i had something to write about.  having many many romances & an impossible number of heartbreaks.  anytime anything bad or questionable happened to me, i'd think, "well, that will make a good story."  this attitude got me through so much pain & torment.  my pen is my muse.  my laptop is my guardian angel.  my every day is my story.
