I enjoy writing, and look forward to the part of my day when my job is done, and I can pursue more fulfilling moments of creativity. It's a great way to check and make sure that my brain still works.

11/02/09 personal update: Just got married on 10/31/09 to the man I've been in love with for the last six years. Leaving for our honeymoon on 11/13/09. I hope to have 'Esther Art' completed and posted by then.

01/10/10 personal update: To anyone who wants to read more of my writing, I do have another plot in the works, but it's progression is slow in developing because this is a very busy time of year for my line of work (accounting and human resources - blaah). Please check back. I will try to post fairly soon. Thank you.

03/03/10 personal update: Having computer problems and dealing with the "Blue Screen of Death". I do have the first chapter of my next story written out (but almost lost it on said computer) and will post it very soon. Hopefully, within the next day or two.

1/19/2011 personal update: My husband got a job in Dubai, so we've spent the last few months packing and moving. Still settling in, but so far, so good. I'm hoping to devote more time to my writing soon.
