About Me

I'm a [insert age here] year old mere de deux enfants. I speak French. Very badly.I'm currently completing my BA in Creative Writing at the University of Central Oklahoma. So. . .no cliches allowed.I inhale: air, good books, good poetry, good music, my children's laughter, the occasional stray Cheeto, Starbucks coffee.
