Journalist, writer and wit extraordinaire, Erika is a Chandleresque blonde whose worldview was shaped by the mean fictional streets of Baltimore. As a resident of Phoenix, she also works to stem the tide of insanity in Arizona politics.

I need to do the same thing for my !@#$ business website. I feel like writing "Ginger has made a living writing and editing words in a row for 30 years. If she was bad at it, she'd be a Walmart greeter by now."

No shit. Nobody reads them all that often, either.

Because books.

I hate writing bios. Mine are always completely lame. I usually wind up listing dumb jobs I've had, like a million other people.

We should probably all write each other's bio.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

No Ginger should write everyone's bio. And we can all collaborate to writer hers.

“Not dead yet!”

Writing bios suck. My sympathies, erika.

Good luck, erika.

I'm still struggling along with making a synopsis. It's getting better, but still not there. Still too bullet-point-ish and not enough story-ish if you take my meaning.

I'm just glad to know I'm not the only person to feel like a dork when writing about her life.
