I’m in the homestretch on the second draft of my current WIP, and will be undertaking some newer writing projects in December, so The Writer Librarian will be going dark until New Year.

I’ll still be on Operation Awesome every other Monday (December 15 and December 29) so feel free to find me there. And in the meantime, here’s some Author Bio Mad Libs I borrowed from Operation Awesome’s newest contributor, Wendy Nickel. 

 Step 1: Jot down a word or phrase for each of the descriptions below:

    Full name:
    Genre:

    College major:
    2-3 random letters:

Here’s mine (some is true, most is fiction):

She is a Creative Writing graduate of WER and has enjoyed moving in bookstores, jogging lemonade, and playing golf with her close friend and mentor, Douglas Adams.
