My
name is Jodi, and I'm a book-a-holic. I've read four books
in the last two-and-a-half days! Probably a contributing factor to
writing my bio at the eleventh hour. I’ve been feeding this voracious
hunger since second grade, when I first read “Black Beauty” and truly fell in
love with books. To this day, there's little I like better than
endless steaming mugs of coffee, a fleecy blanket, and a loaded Kindle in a
quiet house.
In part because I have a 13-year-old daughter who’s a bookworm, but also because part of me is a perpetual adolescent, I've read scads of young adult novels/series in the last couple of years. Basically, though, I'll read anything. Did you know there are actually directions on a tube of toothpaste?! "For best results, squeeze from bottom."
I have what Buddhists call "monkey brain.” My mind is a whirling, brightly colored maelstrom of fun, imaginative things, deep thoughts, big ideas, and plans for the next great thing. I'm interested in virtually everything, I love to learn, and I'm a fount of random, mostly useless knowledge. Unfortunately, while my well of inspiration never runs dry, I often lack true ambition and follow-through.
I’ve wanted to write for as long as I can remember, but thus far some form of passivity has left that dream shelved and unrealized, a dusty someday. As this is my first class of any kind in more than ten years, I'm a little scared and a lot excited…or maybe it’s the other way around. In any case, taking the first step toward a long-held dream feels great, and I'm looking forward to stretching my wings and seeing where they take me.
