Well, my website author bio is written. It's too long. But I'm going to let it simmer a few days (just like a manuscript, though I let those simmer longer) and then, hopefully, edit it down. Meanwhile, here are two fun pix and some bio-related thoughts.

1. As I wrote the bio, I realized that some of this material might be better in another part of the website, such as an "advice to writers" page or as part of my also-coming-in-March A YEAR OF AUDITIONS blog.
2. In this process, I've realized that I spent about a decade dancing before every trying writing, so it's hard to make the early-life part seem like a writer bio when it's mostly a dancer bio. (This problem remains unresolved.)
3. I remember quite clearly when I started to enjoy writing (eighth grade).
4. I am not hugely fond of writing about myself. Much prefer writing fiction. Even doing revisions :)
