It’s me, the Irish Miss

By SehAnru on June 15, 2010

I have to say; probably the worst thing you can do to a writer is ask him or her to write about him or herself. It is the number one reason why I am not writing an autobiography, okay.. yet. We are hyper critical about ourselves in that manner. But I am always open to [...]
