I'm... rambling, reclusive, passionate, introverted, a scathing Scorpio, an obsessive writer, a treehugger, an ambitious activist, an enmeshed mother, a guardian of the planet, a feminist, a pacifist.
My family and I have a little corner of the earth where we try to live with intention, learn with open hearts, laugh every day, create positive change, and do the best we can.
I'm a freelance writer, an activist and volunteer with several organizations. Feel free to check out some of my poetry and fanfiction, and I've got a bit of art at DeviantArt. I am also a graduate student and a minister... among many other things!
I'm working on several projects at the moment, but can always take another on; if you're looking for a writer, I have literally hundreds of online samples (articles, magazine pieces, blogs, web pages, fact sheets, just about everything) available upon request. I'm currently working on a site to house them all, and will post that link once it is available.
Who I'd like to meet: Stephen King, Michael Moore, Tabitha King, Amy Tan, Neil Gaiman, Hellboy, George Carlin, Barack Obama, Diablo Cody, Vincent D'Onofrio, Gerard Butler, Al Franken, Janeane Garofolo, Greg Palast, George Carlin, Bono, Alice Walker, more...
