If you've found this blog, that means you've either clicked on the link I sent you, or you've stumbled across it via Google or another random search engine. Welcome, regardless of how you found this blog. It's taken me almost thirty-two years and several jobs before I decided I wanted to focus specifically on my writing, and I am the happiest I've ever been.
I thought I'd kick off this blog by telling you a quick ten facts about me...the Brandy behind the Writer, so to speak.
- I live in Missouri. Or Misery. Depending on your state of mind. The weather changes at the drop of a hat.
- I am almost 32 years old. Though I've been told I look younger than my age.
- I have naturally curly hair. Not permed, and yes, people love to play with it. I'm also 5'10" and with a size eleven shoe; it's hard to find pants that are long enough and shoes that fit.
- I taught elementary school for four years before I decided to go get my master's degree.
- I came back to poetry after about a five, six year hiatus, and my mentor/teacher, Marcus Cafagna, has told me two things: my work has been very strong (the work that I've workshopped thus far), and that he can definitely tell I've improved from my undergrad days.
- I've had two poems published in the Moon City Review as an undergrad (Missouri State's literary magazine).
- So far, I've submitted to two literary magazines at the undergraduate level, and I will keep on submitting till one bites.
- I have three dogs. Which is funny, because in the past I could not keep a dog to save my life, and now I have three. Go figure.
- I'm a Trekkie (more TOS than anything, but I do like and appreciate the new movies).
- My favorite poets are Robert Frost and Percy Shelley.
And that's a bit about me. My main goal is to post once a week, so if I can meet that goal, I'll reach around to pat myself on the back, or, you can do it for me. Either way.
