About Me


October 2005
(When I signed up for MySpace)


October 2006
(One Year Later)
Well, I've been on MySpace almost two years now and the addiction is waning, haha. For the first year I was on ALL THE TIME--changing my layout, graphics, and pictures weekly, posting all of the surveys on this page and/or blogs, taking the quizzes, making a ton of slideshows, visiting EVERYONE'S page a few times a week, and updating my info daily! Over the past eight months I've gradually done less and less, and now here we are. . .do I keep my profile? No worries, I won't be making that decision this month. I've enjoyed connecting with long lost friends, keeping in touch better with everyone, and even making new friends. But, I haven't been spending as much time on here, so I apologize that my sections are kind of empty right now. P.S. Even though you can't see my comments before this May, I did save them all!
Anyway, to summarize the "about me" section: I worked in TV & radio for four years after graduating from Iowa State University in 2002, was married and moved near Omaha in 2003, became a PRO member of the Romance Writers of America in 2006 (hopefully my second manuscript, BLUE & PINK ENVELOPES, will be my first published book soon!), and in mid-April 2007 my husband & I decided we might be ready for our first child! Not pregnant yet, but hopefully sometime this year :)
The only reason for being a professional writer is that you can't help it--Leo Rosten

Skill is an element you build, out of work and study and experience. It can't vanish in a puff of smoke. . . it pays you to stay with the cattle-Dwight V. Swain
Joe, my husband since 4/26/03
We act as though comfort and luxury were the chief requirements of life, when all that we need to make us happy is something to be enthusiastic about.~ Charles Kingsley
