BioGoldfish are cheap and common. Find them in any pet store or Wal-mart, crammed into some far corner. Their lifespans are a blip, and there are many, many lifespans. Those precious days or weeks or months, all occupied by staring out the glass or waiting for manna from heaven.
We're all goldfish, in our own way.
I'm a writer. I've written "books" since I was four. Now at age twenty-nine, I'm an old pro at marriage and wrangle an autistic preschooler on a daily basis. Just staring out the glass all day, waiting for something to happen that's not a full potty chair or the cat hacking on the carpet. Writing brings me that divine sparkle - and my hope of a life beyond the glass.
I have two novel manuscripts I am coaxing into publishable form. Normal is a superhero urban fantasy, while The Locked Door blends women's fiction and scifi. I have smaller publishing credits in books such as The Ultimate Cat Lover and online venues such as WOW! Women on Writing's Summer 2008 Flash Fiction Contest and Niteblade Fantasy and Horror Magazine.
This journal is about my quest for publication and my own identity as a writer. It's an honest take on the struggle, but I hope in the end it's an inspirational one. I have had a personal account on LiveJournal since 2001, but it is confined to friends-only. My writing journal is public. Feel free to add me; you don't have to ask.
