Hello BlueSky! I'm new here. Been running the profile for the mag I run for a few days and was talked into joining personally, too. So, here I am. Happy #writing weirdo who loves #cats, #tea, #travel, my awesome hubby, and, of course, all things #artsy. I've love to meet my fellow #creatives!

I am a single-issue voter and that issue is "never having to think about or listen to Donald Trump ever again for the rest of my life."
