My name is Sommer and I am a 28 year old writer from Omaha, NE. I graduated from the University of Nebraska at Omaha with an English degree focused on writing and linguistics and a communication minor.

I’ve fallen in love with creative non-fiction as expressed in comics, essays, art, and journalism (which I’m sure will never pay the bills). This blog is an extension of that passion, a place for experimentation and professional criticism. Every word can’t be Shakespearean, but I’ll try to keep the nonsensical ramblings interesting.

I draw and paint a lot, and am the owner of Storyville Designs, opening in April of 2008. This is my art store over at Etsy featuring bits and pieces of my imagination.

My husband and I have taken the Green challenge and from this I have created The Green Apple Project. This project is about bringing green living home without overturning your life. It’s about my journey but also about what I can share from my research and brainstorming. Going Green does not require a lot of money or a lot of time. The Green Apple Project is just starting out, but soon it will have a life all it’s own! Like Frankenstein, if he recycled.

My 2008 goal is to submit many essays and short stories for publishing and to work harder at building up a professional portfolio. Freelancer for hire, afterall.

I’ve been married since March 2007. We own a house, 3 cats, no intention of ever having kids and several healthy political opinions. I’m crafty, artsy, stubborn, geeky, and a little bit snobbish. I love cooking, bookstores and coffee shops and all things Nintendo. I draw a little and watercolor paint a lot. I’m brilliant, in my own way.
