It's Official!

Well folks, I finally did it.  I took the plunge.  I jumped over the fence.  I hopped on to that proverbial bandwagon.  I DRANK THE KOOL-AID!

I am officially a BLOGGER!!! YAY!!! *fist pump* Thank you, thank you…but please hold your applause. 

I have arrived, ladies and gentlemen!  And honestly, it’s not as bad nor as scary as I thought it would be.  Actually, I think I kind of like it over here.  I even feel a bit different, kind of cutting-edge.  I don’t know, to me it just always seems like people look at you just a little differently when they find out you’re a blogger.  Especially on those occasions when you manage to casually let it slip that, “Oh yeah, I wrote about that on MY BLOG...” Gasp. “OMG! You have a blog. Wow, you’re so cool!” At least this is the dialogue I hope would transpire if I were to awkwardly blog-drop my new blogger status into some obscure completely off-the-subject conversation.

But yes, I am here and I am here to stay.  And being that this is all still pretty new to me please bare with me as I adjust to my new britches, with the hopes that in time as we become more comfortable in this blogger to blogger worm relationship, this will ultimately be a mutually satisfying and beneficial friendship for all willing participants. 

Another bit of exciting news (at least it is for me)...I'm also a tweeter!  I tweet!  So if you're feeling particularly stalker-ish, please "follow" me!  Now I know some of you may be thinking I'm getting way over my head with all this, but I'm sticking with it and my borrowed motto of, “Go big or go home”.

As my "About Me" says, I'm a YA and literary fiction writer.  I am currently working on a YA supernatural series that I started back in early 2010.  I have yet to be published but am hoping that 2011 will be the year that this will finally change.  But no matter what the outcome of this year may be, in regards to me getting published or not, I intend to keep writing.  I love writing and the process of creating something from nothing and I feel pretty darn lucky to be able to do what I do.

But being that we can’t all live on love and passion alone I usually masquerade, I mean, work as an office assistant during the day.  Which for some may sounds pretty drab but I actually enjoy what I do and it helps that I work with some really awesome people.

Shout out to my peeps at LaserImage Dallas!!!

I also have a six-month-old kitty named Daisy, who is for the most part extremely whacked-out and super hyper, but she is sooooo adorable…well, that is when she’s not being completely whacked-out and obnoxiously hyper.  But she is definitely like part of the family now and so I wouldn't trade my little meow-meow for anything.  Okay, maybe for Gerard Butler, but nothing else.  I obsessively love to read and  therefore I read A LOT! I enjoy music of all kinds and am always open to suggestions, except I’m not a big fan of heavy metal, at all, it reminds me of…well, we’ll just say hard rock is not my cup of tea and I can avoid offending anyone.

But in a nutshell I’m just a random, quirky, lit-junky, Kindle-lovin, bookworm, no-nonsense chick writer who, unfortunately, is in an ongoing love-hate relationship with all nefarious cocoa bean bi-products. Darn those monks!

But any who...all good things must come to an end, as they say.  So until next time, keep it clean peeps!
