Howdy do. My name is Michelle, IRL. I'm tickled pinkish to be able to share what I write with folks. I've dabbled in the writing-for-actual-money world off and on, but mostly I just write for fun. I'm having a delightful time writing fanfic - I've never done it before, and I'm always game to try something new; especially something that helps stretch my writing muscles.
I'm a special education teacher by day, which I love. I have one (aforementioned) hubby, five cats, no kids and a cute little Ipod I named Apollo. I like playing with Photoshop, reading books on social issues, listening to Tom Waits and Massive Attack, eating chocolate and drinking wine.Not (usually) all at the same time.
I love parenthesis, and have been working very hard not to overuse them in my stories. I'm also fond of the semi-colon.
Writers who inspire me: e. e. cummings, Kurt Vonnegut, Margaret Atwood, Piers Anthony, Dave Eggers, Augusten Burrows, Tom Robbins, Torey Hadyn, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Edward Albee
Favorite writing aids: Diet Coke, Camel Lights (bad me! no cookie!), my fuzzy chocolate brown blanket, my big fat cat, Artemis, having hubby puttering around in the background, purple pens (for editing), Apollo the Ipod.
Thanks for visiting. :)
