(I will be in Costa Rica from May 25th to August 18.  My internet access is sporadic there--I hope this time to get hookup where I live, but there are no guarantees.  I may not be as active on WEbook during that time. Don't take it personally if I am slow to respond to invitations and messages.I will definitely return with much to post, however!)Passionate about writing, it's what I'm compulsive about while doing my day job as a midwife and raising a sort of dysfunctionally happy family.  I've got lots of manuscripts in my closet, a few articles and essays in print and  I'm working on several short stories.  I'm also having fun with poetry again since joining webook, but I don't claim to be good at it.
