About Anne

From the archive. This post was first published on the original Green Eggs and Moms blog and is kept here as it was.

annem1 150x150 About Anne

Why does she write?

Many hours hunched over the typewriter when she was younger convinced her that she was destined to be a writer. Although she didn’t pursue this dream early on, she has now traded her corporate heels for walking (and working) barefoot at home.

You didn’t answer the question! Why does she write?

Because she likes the idea of creating something out of nothing. She finds the writing process magical: filling a white blank page with letters that create words, words that create sentences, sentences that create paragraphs, and paragraphs that create stories or provide information.

What else should we know about her?

  • She has a pre-schooler who will soon cross over to the school-age stage.
  • She loves reading books, stalking her favorite blogs and leaving traces of herself by commenting on those unfortunate blogs.
  • She loves vampires and zombies. She wishes she could turn into the former but never into the latter.
  • She also loves eating chocolate – so if you got any, do send some her way.
