About Me: 
Just a small-town journalist who is looking for a community where she can be inspired to write outside her professional box. Grew up in Orange County, in a sheltered little community and couldn't wait to move out. Moved out at 18, went to college in San Jose and majored in Journalism and minored in Political Science. Recently married, I now work for a weekly newspaper in the Bay Area in a sheltered community not too different from the one I began in. Ah, isn't life cyclical? Want to read my blog?
