![]() ![]() Persevere! I feel lucky, having landed a contract after only about 17 queries/rejections, but I know that usually it takes a lot more than that. My most productive time is usually at night after I get my kids in bed, however. I snatch every opportunity! I do all my writing in Google Docs, so I can access it across all my devices, which comes in handy on long car trips or when waiting around. ![]() I have a wonderful husband, two lovely daughters, and three kitties. I’ve lived in Oregon for eleven and a half years, which is officially the longest I’ve ever been in one place. All the upheaval really affected me as a person, I think.

The majority of our moves were because my dad needed work, and the most drastic/traumatic was the move from Idaho to Kentucky in 1999, when I was sixteen. It is true I spent my first seven years as the child of Navy parents, but that only accounted for two of the moves we made. When I mention this, the first thing people assume is that we were a military family. I’m unbelievably weird and I fly my weirdness like a banner, which is admittedly a lot easier now that I’m an adult than it was as a child and teen, although there are still Those people even as adults who try to make you feel bad for going against the grain. ![]()
