I write for a living, so why am I doing more writing for free?

Welcome back to the old blog, everyone!  It's been a while since I've been here, so I'm sure it's been a while for you too.  Last night when I was starting to fall asleep, it just occurred to me that I kind of wanted to resurrect the old girl, but in a slightly different manner.  When I first started this blog, it was kind of a catch-all for my daily musings and wacky article ideas.  Nowadays, my wacky article ideas go to the people who pay me for them, but I still need a place to stick my musings and updates on me.  Some of you expressed interest in my blog last time it was up, so I hope you'll enjoy it now, too.

In case you forgot who I am, this is me.

I'm 24, a resident of suburban Kansas, and a writer.  My whole life has been pretty much dedicated to this particular craft, but only recently did I start making it my job.  I mean, I have a degree in English Literature, so it only makes sense that I should contribute something to the field, right?

Among my clients are the aforementioned Splatter.com, a hub for all kinds of original content that is comparable to Buzzfeed or Cracked, but better because I write for it.  I'm also contracted with a publishing company that must remain nameless (for legal reasons) to produce Young Adult novels.  In addition to that, I'm also working on my own novel, but let's not talk about that.  

Anyway, check back here from time to time to see what I'm up to.  Don't forget to check Splatter, too.  We post tons of new content every single day.
