I am 22 and I have taken a job in the editing industry midnlessly inserting commas and semi-colons all the days of my life. Save me. Please.

In my spare time, I write/read and I have become obsessed with the issue of madness, especially in conjuction with women, because I am, after all  mad and a women. My three best friends are Sylvia Plath, Virgina Woolf and Anne Sexton (in that order).

Currently, and sporadically, I’m working on a collection of short stories that deal with maddening issues and women (ie: depression, obsession, age, expectations, eating disorders, which will each earn a story)...however boring that may sound.

Currently, and sporadically, I’m working on a collection of short stories that deal with maddening issues and women (ie: depression, obsession, age, expectations, eating disorders, which will each earn a story)...however boring that may sound. The working title is Mad New York (I want New York to be a character in it as much as any other, bc that’s where I live and what I love) So, as you may or may not have noticed, most of the short stories on here are set in New York and emulate this theme.  It will be a sort of 21st century tribute to all attic-stuffed mad women before me.

Oh yes, and I’m first and foremost a poet. I’m not sure whether I’m a better prose or poetry writer, but I think of myself as a poet. The poems on here have no collective theme, and have been written anywhere from 4 years to 4 days ago.

I apreciate any and all constructive criticism. But don’t be too nasty, I’m sensitive.

And oh yeah, I’m not a moron, but I am, however, a HORRID speller. Please take that into consideration, and correct me nicely.

PS: Not many people know I write or take the fact that I say I write very seriously (that includes my family, most friends, and my boyfriend). I I’m not about to put my name up here. I like the anoniminity (spelling? is that a word? yeah thanks).  I’m working on a pseudonym. Ellen Higgins. Sounds very snooty and britishish—with various Bell Jar refrences.
