WRITER: I love to write lists, notes, journal entries, poems, stories, novels, and non-fiction books on writing instruction, writing life, and writing prompts. I have written and write at the library; in my car; outside; in lines; on buses, trains, and airplanes; and while standing up. Mainly, I write at my dining room table or my desk. Writing is a part of who I am, to my core.
As a writer, I'm also a volunteer admin for The Insecure Writer's Support Group. I am in charge of the Instagram page for #theiwsg and I get to help with a few other tasks. They are a wonderful group of people.
DAYDREAMER: I like to imagine new worlds, new places, and new characters. I'm primarily a speculative fiction writer, delving into fantasy, super-hero contemporary, and some science fiction. Sometimes, I write historical and contemporary realistic fiction, but it's rare. I prefer to take a walk in someone else's shoes/tentacles/rocket-boots when I write.
TEACHER: I teach language arts classes at a homeschool cooperative which has over 100 members from kindergarten to high school. I teach middle and high school grade students once a week and then assign them four days worth of tough homework. I'm also a grad student with Western Governor's University, taking coursework in Instructional Design.
BELIEVER: I believe Jesus died for my sins. He is my Redeemer, my Rock, and my Salvation. I am amazed by his unfailing, forever love for me and for each and every one of us.
"When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him?" Psalm 8:3-4
In case you're wondering, my name is pronounced: "T" + "Irene."
It's actually an old, old name from thousands of years ago, but my parents thought they made it up, and it can be pronounced in a variety of ways depending on its owner and how it is used. It used to mean: person from the city of Tyre.
