brgypsyeyes's profile

I am 32 and the oldest child with five younger brothers.  Married for eight years, no children but a veritable zoo of pets.  My family moved around a lot when I was young; the most exotic place we lived was Aruba and I have lived in Baton Rouge Louisiana for the past 19 years.  I love to read, write, sing, crossword puzzles, create art and play pool.  I began writing at the age of 8 when I received my first diary as a birthday gift.  Moving around so much and my appearance being so different from the most other children prevented me from making friends and often made me the butt of horrible teasing.  I escaped in reading and writing, they were my closest companions.  When I married my husband I began to ignore the creative side of myself…

I am 32 and the oldest child with five younger brothers.  Married for eight years, no children but a veritable zoo of pets.  My family moved around a lot when I was young; the most exotic place we lived was Aruba and I have lived in Baton Rouge Louisiana for the past 19 years.  I love to read, write, sing, crossword puzzles, create art and play pool.  I began writing at the age of 8 when I received my first diary as a birthday gift.  Moving around so much and my appearance being so different from the most other children prevented me from making friends and often made me the butt of horrible teasing.  I escaped in reading and writing, they were my closest companions.  When I married my husband I began to ignore the creative side of myself.  My husband is an amazingly talented artist in several different genres and I suppose it made me feel inadequate.  This year has been full of upheaval and I haven’t been dealing with it very well.  In the last month or two I started writing again and feel like I have reunited with a long lost friend.  After so many years of not knowing what I wanted to be when I grew up I have finally found the answer, (been staring me in the face nearly all of my life).  Several writing projects are in the beginning stages and my goal is to complete and publish at least one by the end of this year.
