Myabe I should start with this..."My name is Colleen and I'm obsessed with Stephen King. Its been 26 years since I read my first book of his".

Ok, now I feel better. I went to see his house in Bangor, Maine in 2007 and it was awesome! The fence and gates were the best part. The details were very subtle. Unless you were really looking it just looked like a regular fence!

He has lived in that house with his wife Tabitha (who is a great writer too) for pretty much his entire career, I think. It has the offices and everything in it. He had just bought the house next door to it and was having it renovated to move the offices there.

Aside from his brilliant writing, what I love about him is that he has never forgotten where he came from and he gives back to his community and profession.

you know, because of River Phoenix's "Stand By Me", I bought the book "Four Season". Actually I still haven't read it yet(yeah, too many english scare me off) but I remember the opening lines of the story "Body"- the most important thing is the hardest thing to say.

At least you are not stalking him like the two people on the balcony. :) Cool gate too. I heard an interview of his when he was a guest on Wait, Wait Don't Tell Me. Interesting author. Enjoyed his short stories.

I was born and raised in the Northeastern part of the U.S. and moved around a lot as a child, I went to six different schools in 12 years. One of the things that helped me deal with constantly being the "new kid" was being creative. I have always loved to write, take pictures, draw, and in general be creative.
After high school I tried college but it just didn't work for me. I preferred to learn things "hands on". I also love meeting new people and experiencing new challenges. So I went to work and have been working in retail for over 22 years now. I have two beautiful and sweet daughters, ages 14 and 10, who are my reason for living.
Several years ago I became a massage therapist and after working primarily with people with debilitating/chronic pain issues and injured athletes, I wanted to further my education to specialize in this field. However, a serious neck injury has halted that, ironic huh? I still do it, but because of my injury I can't do it full-time, possibly ever again.
The one thing consistent, through all life's ups and downs, has been my creative expression. I guess you could say that, aside from my children of course; expressing myself through writing, photography, and art in general, are my passions. I consider myself to be an amateur in these areas, but talented none the less.
So now that my children are older and not requiring my attention 100% of the time, (as any of you with children know.....its now 200% hehe), my goal is to pursue a career in writing and possibly photography. So I've been reading, researching, learning about different styles/formats, and in general soaking up as much knowledge I can in all areas of the creative arts; and loving every minute of it!
I also wanted to start sharing my art with others. I don't know how others feel, but for me its scary as heck to share my soul with others. When I saw this site, I immediately felt a sense of peace, everyone seems so genuine and sincere, and creative expression is not only allowed, its encouraged.
So here goes nothing.............
