Intro

Hi,
I'm in a Theories of Fiction class and just blogging a little about myself as an intro. 

I'm back at CSUN, part time, as a junior after taking a ten-year hiatus to raise my two kids - or at least get them to a point where they are a little more independent.  (10 yr old and 6 yr old).   I work for a great company that offers tuition reimbursement and since I really want to finish my bachelor's degree, I couldn't resist it.  I'm a English major - creative writing.  I must admit that I thought this major would be more focused on creative writing than literature, but it's not.  At least I'm broadening the scope of my education.  I will confess that some of these courses are dreadful - the ones that take me out of the creative writing and into other areas of cognitive thinking - that hurts using that part of the brain :) 

I wrote an action/romance novel and am working on trying to get it published.   I love to read too.  I'm a huge fan of:  Stephen King, Nelson DeMille, Dean Koontz and Nora Roberts.


So here I am, working full time, taking night classes, raising kids and trying to get an action/romance novel published.  I hope it all pays off one day!
