O, the tangled paths we follow. For me it was from Peace Corps Volunteer in Somalia, to English teacher, to librarian, to research specialist, to legal assistant, to website coach. And now my feet sit mostly below my computer, with prose and poetry intermingled. I have a bit of advice for aspiring writers: Start young (if you can) and read. Read lots. Read good stuff and bad -- you will know the difference. I credit my mother's influence for my penchant for writing, for she was a voracious reader herself. She told me how she hunkered down in the back seat of the old jalopy, her nose in a book, to avoid the jeers of her four brothers. We moved a lot as I was growing up, but no matter where we went, Mom made sure I had two things: ballet shoes and a library card. Those two things have served me well. My first novel focused on Somalia, a people and country I came to love. The second was born from a play I saw at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. For the next one, I think I hear the sound of ballet slippers.
