Welcome to A Blog of Her Own

Another blog?

Yes, another blog. My writing life and my creative side were getting crowded out my other blogs, by virtue of sheer geography, so I decided they deserved a home of their own. Or, rather, a blog of their own. This blog will also give me a space to talk about some of the other creative projects I've been dabbling in.

There's also a benefit to you, the reader, of my deciding to segregate my writing, parenting, and political blogging lives: people who have no interest in parenting or politics won't have to read about placentas or the dark side of politics in a small town in order to get to find out what I'm working on or what practical advice I might have to share with other writers.

So, as you can see, it's a win-win.
