Bio
As you may have read in my first blog entry, I am thirty-seven and a writer/consultant in the Marketing industry. Woo hoo! I was born and raised in a suburb outside of Houston and moved back here from New York City in 2003, where I worked in Account Service for Ogilvy & Mather. I moved back home to pursue my passion for writing. I know, it sounds weird to me, too. But, yes, it's true, I moved AWAY from New York City to become a writer. We can boil that one down to money. Money doesn't flow freely for someone newly pursuing a career as a writer, and Manhattan...well, it ain't cheap.
So, here I am. I've been working as a copywriter for a small marketing firm for 4 or so years now, and have written a children's book which is now incorporated into the curriculum of seven school districts in this area. I'm working on book #2 as we speak, and should have that one wrapped up in the next month or so.
I am single (again). I have one sister, a nephew, and loving parents...very involved parents, but loving nonetheless. You'll learn a whole lot about them as the blog progresses. There's a lot of humor there, folks.
I love to read...soak in all the knowledge I can about a diverse array of subjects...some useless (I am human) and some for the purpose of opening my mind to new experiences and possibilities. The reality is, I can't fall asleep without a book. Unless, well...we won't go there. I also love to write (as you know). I enjoy travel (which I've done far too little of lately), and I've recently developed a new passion for photography...we'll see how that goes.
I hope to someday see a magazine idea I have come to fruition, and have that career / life I've always dreamed of.
I tried Yoga recently and I've never been so sore in my life. I plan to try it again as soon as my hamstrings recover.
I grew up in a family with an extremely dry sense of humor - and that has apparently rubbed off on me in spades. So, hopefully you'll enjoy that as you get to know me more.
My nephew calls me "NiNi" -and I've never been so excited to have a ridiculous name in my life. You'll hear about him from time to time - like how he is repeating everything now - hence, my father has had to stop saying "time to clean your ass" in the bathtub. He's the light of our lives and one of several reasons I haven't been able to pull the trigger on some job opportunities in California.
I hope you reading my musings as much as I enjoy writing them, and I look forward to your comments.
