I have been writing as long as I can remember. Early missives included Things I Will Never Do As A Parent (I must have been a dramatic 13 year old at the time); Why I Hate Cocktail Parties (I was a politically-correct Hippie for that one); and more love-sick poems than I care to remember.
I love having a regular writing contract and my column on getting older keeps my creative juices flowing. I feel like I am growing into that particular piece of writing.
