9 years ago+7 7 0A Belated Introduction
Now that I'm feeling more comfortable on this delightful site, and now that I see introduction posts are sincerely welcomed, here goes!
I'm a New Orleans native who recently moved home after a seven-year-exile in the actual Bible-Belt. I've got an MA in English and BAs in English and Spanish. I've worked as a legal assistant, a crime/safety reporter (won some minor awards!), and now I work in communications/PR. I hated that everyone viewed me as "The Enemy" when I worked as a reporter -- and the expectation to exploit people's mistakes -- so I figured I'd enjoy putting out fires more than starting them!
I adore language and examining how it's used by people. I write dark fantasy novels in my spare time, and if you forced me to choose between a horror movie and a musical, I'd probably end up demanding that you sing while you murder me.
Snapzu has energized me over the past few days, and I hope to continue participating in this valuable community!
