I have been writing for about 20 years, considering publishing for the first time.  My stories have always been personal to me.  It's how I rationalize some things.   I also draw, sketch, and sometimes paint (very rarely paint.)

I collaborate with my best friend, (a man) and he helps with the male perspective in my stories, but he does not like attention.  Sort of like me.  Anyway, hope you enjoy!  Best of luck in your endeavors!
