About

My Current Life: paralegal and seamstress.

My Next Life: author, artist, and costume designer.

How do I get from here to there? I’m not really sure, but I just keep plugging away and educating myself along the way.

I am a Christian. It’s not enough to know something, you have to do something about it. Ask me what I mean.

I am a paralegal. I enjoy my job. I especially love the research (think detective work) and writing. My life in the legal profession is interesting and I never have a shortage of stories to tell.

I am a seamstress or budding costume designer. I started my own company Cotton Costumes, Ltd. I have five years experience designing costumes for community venues, and read everything about costuming that I can find.

I write for my job, I write for stress relief, I write for entertainment, I write for my blog (sporadically due to the every growing demands on my time from Cotton Costumes, Ltd.), and I write for the sake of writing. A wise man told me if you want to be an author you must write. I do. I have more than 60 stories in various stages of completion and one complete novel.

I started drawing (from life) in October 2008. I never thought that I had any artistic ability until I drew a profile of my grandfather that didn’t look like a child drew it. I took drawing and watercolor in the spring of 2009. To see some of my work, use the Categories “Drawing” and “Watercolor” in the drop down box on the side bar. I don’t believe I have any natural artistic talent, though others disagree. My opinion is anyone can learn to do anything if they really want to, some just have to work harder than others.
