I've always loved to read, but it didn't cross my mind that I could write my own until well after my kids were born! :)Jemi Fraserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02214408467456320167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5686417699021523871.post-84124614935713877582012-10-02T11:33:58.220-07:002012-10-02T11:33:58.220-07:00All very good reasons.

That,and writing provided me with a way to scratch the "I'm making things" itch that I seem to get so often. <br /><br />Okay, one more thing. I'm a computer programmer and I love to solve problems.
