      A writer. Nice to realize when you think you've accomplished nothing that you've done at least some of what you thought you would. https://morphemetales.wordpress.com/publications-list/

      I wanted to create sets or do costumes for plays, or direct. I wanted to be a writer, an activist for various causes or relief worker, an actress, a restaurant critic... I wanted to be a teacher but completely changed my mind in college.

      Kids are great. I worked in a school for 6 years & I still work with the kids at my church. Also, I am trying to start my own program that involves children and theater. Dreams don't die, they only get bigger.
