Writer turned performing artist, back to writer. In the performing arts I started out as a professional dancer at Disneyland, taught tap dance for a while, got into acting and modeling, and later added voiceover. Made some dough doing all of those things but I’m about as small-time as you can get and still collect a paycheck. Even that has slowed down. This economy is tough.

It was while working in a few indie films that I became intrigued with the notion of writing screenplays. I joined the Northwest Screenwriters Guild and worked on learning the screenwriting process for a while. I learned a lot. But honestly all that did was make me long for fiction novels. Every time I had to shorten my ideas to fit a 110-120 page screenplay, it felt like some of the best stuff was being left behind. I kept putting away my ideas and starting over on a new screenplay, thinking I would use those ideas in a novel “someday”.

My last published writing was co-authoring a collection of short stories with my husband for the young adult market. We made a great team! It was in the 90’s within the Christian Publishing industry, but I am not a Christian any longer. My beliefs have changed dramatically from those days, and I am actually an agnostic now.

Self-publishing has come a LONG way since the days when I was paying attention to the publishing industry. I have never been at the steering wheel before. I’m new to this part but I’m absorbing as much as I can, as fast as I can. I am quite excited about it!

If you want to share your wisdom with me it would be greatly appreciated. Self-Publishing Review has already taught me a lot. There are some awesome folks on this website!
