When I went away to college I was young, inexperienced and very shaky when it came to self confidence. But the one thing I did feel some confidence about was writing. Wouldn’t you know it, my very first semester of college I was plugged into a 7:30 am Writing 101 course with a TA (graduate teaching assistant) who pretty much took a disliking to my writing style. He so underminded me, or I should say that I ALLOWED him to undermind me to such a degree that I completely abandoned my love of writing and dived head first into getting a Fine Arts Degree. I also married an artist.  So my Links list reveals a broad spectrum of interests - from writing (which I eventually came back to) to the visual arts.
