I live at the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. I just graduated with an M.A. in English writing but, of course, I can't stop there. So, PhD here I come! This blog is about the tribulations, jubilations, and contemplations of me trying to break into the literary world, finish my education, and enjoy life while attempting to stay sane.
I've done quite a bit, but (surprise!) it's still not enough. When is it ever enough? Here are some of the things that I've done:
