Your Notes

Edit your notes

I am part academic, part artist, and adore the absurd.

My Self-Summary

I'm not a fan of self-summaries, because much like obituaries, they always fail to accurately present the person.

What I’m doing with my life

Right now, I'm an English Professor. I teach college students how to write/appreciate writing/think critically. I mostly do this so I can fund my own writing life.

I’m really good at

I believe I'm a good writer -- though, based on the info I'm providing here, one wouldn't know. I'm a good cook. I grew up with a father who is an immensely talented engineer, and some of his talents made their way into my DNA -- I'm good at "tinkering" with stuff. I'm damn good at correcting a run-on sentence . . .

The first things people usually notice about me

Hmm . . . I'm not sure how to answer this question. I'll ask some friends and see what they say.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

Oh, wow. I am obsessed with Virginia Woolf (how cliche), and as a writer/educator, I can't even begin to list "favorite books." Actually, I'm not a "favorites" kind of girl. I don't have a favorite color or favorite food. I have multiple favorite movies, and the only music I dislike is contemporary country.

The six things I could never do without

Coffee, the news, pens, paper, hot showers, a comfortable bed.

I spend a lot of time thinking about

Words. Characters. Narratives. Politics.

On a typical Friday night I am

At home with tea (pathetic, I know), reading or watching television -- basically relaxing after a long week of grading papers and answering questions.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

I have a cat that I'm not especially fond of. It's not that I dislike cats, or dislike her, I just dislike the relationship.

You should message me if

. . . the spirit moves you.
