A long time journaler, blogger, commentator, at 31 years old, Emily is trying to take herself more seriously as a writer. Her interests are as broad as the cosmos and as deep as the microscopic snail eggs she watches hatch each summer. She lives on the coast, which inspires much of her writing, and much of her living: she spends each morning perusing tide pools or traipsing through the salt marsh or tending to a flock of chickens. Her biggest goal is to be a good community member.
