Writin' Life as I See it . . .

Biography

I know you've come to this page with one thing on your mind: Let's see what dirt I can dig up on Yolanda. No, really, you want to know everything you can about me, right?

Okay, since you chose to ask the usual question, I'll supply the usual writer response. I've written since I was knee-high to a grasshopper. Isn't that how it goes? Well, grasshoppers are tiny, so I guess that would mean I've been writing since I was an embryo. Which wouldn't be true, since embryos can't write. ;-)

Not counting journal entries over the years, I've written for the Daily World, Fayetteville State's Bronco Voice, the Fayetteville Observer, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), AAKulturezone.com and numerous e-zines and Web services.

And life wouldn't be complete if I didn't mention my venture with the creative writers of Yanni's Block. Check it out, and you'll understand how the series has put the blog in opera.

So there you have it, the unabashed truth, as I know it. And, boy, do I know some truths. Stick around because I also know plenty of lies.

Oh, and I'm a procrastinator.
