The Perfect Spot for a Former English Major

Did you know that I was an English major in college?

I'm embarrassed to say I've never read or wrote as much as I did in college, thanks in no small part to careers, relationships and the daily grind of life...you know how it 'tis.

I'm gathering lots of inspiration, and here's a sample of what I've got so far:
