Hello Fellow bloggers,

 I began teaching two online writing classes this year, and I am loving it.  Join me.  I am looking for new or beginning writers.

Okay, this should be right now.  The first one (pink) should be my Creative Writing class.

The blue one should be my memoir writing class.  Argggg...... I hope these are correct now.

I suppose I'm borderline manic depressive, an eyore for the most part.  I've had a few poems, about 5, published, and two educational journal articles published so far.  I won first place at my college for a personal narrative on gathering herbs, and an honorable mention for my poem, Charade.  Very cool! 

I wanted to preserve my writing for my children and always wanted to write a book so I did.  I love to write, but I don't take myself too seriously. I have a zany sense of humor.  

I am a fellow of the South Coast Writing Project, a collaborative group of educators interested in promoting writing.  I believe in God, consider myself a Christian, but I have a lot of questions and like to know what others think about God. 

  I wish the world was a little kinder and more pure.
