About
Like most here, I write as a hobby, not as
a career. It's something I've loved to do since I was a
child scribbling weak stories about chance meetings with my then
teen idol David Cassidy or pecking away creating really bad
poetry on the IBM Selectric typewriter I received as a Christmas
gift eons ago.
Over the (many, many) years since, I've
developed a love for humor writing and foster dreams of being the
imaginary love child of Erma Bombeck and David Sedaris.
I've published nationally only once (in the only nationally
circulated lesbian magazine left - Curve) and resorted to
creating my own e-magazine (GAY, the e-zine for lesbians
with a sense of humor) to showcase my humor essays, as
well as those of other lesbians in search of a venue in which to
publish their work.
While I identify as a lesbian, my
orientation does not fully define, nor is it a constant theme in,
my writing. I believe the key to creating
good humor writing is being honest enough in one's work
so as to allow others to relate to your topic/subject
matter. I try to share it all - the good, the bad, the
ugly, and the sometimes embarrassing - and hope that makes it
easier to laugh (or at least smile) with me and at
me.
I appreciate any feedback I receive here
and am always looking to make new connections to diversify the
content of GAY, so feel free to seek me out and drop me
a line. www.gay-e-magazine.com
