puppetmaker | LJ Idol Season 10 Week 0: Hi There

Welcome to my journal. I have been posting on Live Journal since 2004 and participated in Live Journal Idol for quite a while. I have enjoyed the prompts over the years and I think they have made be a better writer. I even had a couple of essays published in the LJ Idol book.

Who am I?

Well it depends which circle I am in and who you ask.

If you ask my daughter, I am mommy maker of things.

If you ask my husband, I am his wife and soul-mate.

If you ask my stepdaughters, I am their father’s second wife and pretty chill.

If you ask my husband’s grandchildren, they will look at you and drool a bit since they are both under a year old. But I am Baba to them, which is the Polish version of Grandma.

If you ask my husband’s fans, I am the wife of Peter David writer of stuff who has a cool set of skills on her own.

I am a puppeteer, costumer, published author, book editor, a teacher, and more jobs than I care list.

I know a lot of interesting people. Some of them are famous and others not so much but they have things that are interesting about them.

I have had a lot of adventures in my life and been to a lot of interesting places. I have been to Hobbiton, the set of Dr. Who twice, SDCC, George and Brad Takei’s wedding, and many other conventions all over the world.

I am a fan of a lot of stuff but I am also a professional in the publishing world, which is a balancing act.

I am looking forward to getting to know my readership and my readership getting to know me.

Some that I do in my regular entries which I hope you give a read to as well as my essays for LJ Idol is I end it with something that I am grateful for. I started it years ago just to take a pause and consider what I have in my life.

I am grateful that Gary decided to have another season that I can play in.
