Writing

I have been a lover of words for as long as I can remember.  I have been blogging since 1994 (years before it was called blogging, years before RSS syndication made it easy to follow blogs). I have also completed 7 novels as part of National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) and was the Rhode Island Municipal Liaison (volunteer who coordinates events during NaNoWriMo) for 3 of those years.

I am also a published author and writer including the following:
