I’m a word nerd 

Words are my Superpower!

My day job revolves around words .. and in learning my trade I had to learn lots of words and how to break them down into their component parts (syllables, prefixes, suffixes) and how to properly punctuate sentences that contain those words.

I am a stenographer.

Yes, I’m the woman that sits in the corner of a courtroom or a deposition suite with that funny little machine, and everyone else forgets she’s even there until they need her to read something back verbatim that was said a half hour ago.

And she’s able to do it!

She’s really quite amazing!

In industry lingo, we call that funny little machine a “writer.”  And we call what we do on it “writing.”. 

Example, “This is how I write this word.”

But when I was young and dreamed of “writing” for a living, this is not what I had in mind.

I’ve always wanted to create.

And what I do for a living is not really creating.

It’s certainly not creating from my mind and my experiences.

I’ve been doing this kind of writing for 26 plus years.  It’s been a great career as far as what I’ve been able to do for myself, my children and my family, but it has left me unfulfilled.

It’s time for me to do my own  kind of writing.

This is my new journey .. 

I have so many plans and ideas.

I hope what I create brings you joy.

It certainly brings me joy creating it.
