I'm so glad that I found this site. The stories and poetry here are great, and written by real people! Not filtered and over-edited by people who live in the clouds above New York. Although some of the writing here could be published for mass consumption.
I'm on my computer all day and jump in and out of Lush for a diversion - reading a story or visiting the forum for a few minutes. Can't really chat in real time, but please feel free to shoot me a message.
I'm not an author. I've written a couple of stories and have a few more languishing on my computer. I find that when I'm writing a story I'm writing for myself, but after the story is finished I'm interested in other people's reactions, whatever they may be. So feel free to comment.
I'm also on the blue site.
Interests Travel, especially road trips in the western USA and Mexico. Because of the line of work I'm in, I've been fortunate to visit/work/live in some interesting places off the beaten path, including Central and South America. I'm sure my experiences traveling will be fertile ground for story ideas.
Photography
Hiking/backpacking
Whitewater rafting (I've mostly given this one up in the interest of living long enough to get my daughter through school).

Dawn finds my window on the prairieOpen to a new day, though I'm wary.Why rise so early? The clock has yet to rule;Still an hour before I'm off to school. And so I return to the twilight realm,Not fully conscious, but far from rem.My Sweet Dream rides in...
