I am a single mother of two amazing young men, one of whom was diagnosed with bipolar disorder when he was six. His brother and I suffer from anxiety and depression. I have been an aspiring novelist since I was eight, and I decided it's time, after all my degrees, to kick it into gear and have more people read my ramblings.

I've written two novels, but I haven't published either one of them. I am currently serializing one on my blog and want to post some of the chapters here for critique.

Completed the Online Certificate Program in Novel Writing from Stanford.
and a couple of degrees in literature (are those relevant?). Yes, I started that with a lower case "and," and I meant it.

there are salons? where? I want to be part of a salon...
