- About Me:
- I'm a writer, photographer, and perpetual eldest child from the small but mighty state of Maryland (plus five important formative years in Southwest Ohio.) I've always been a writer...seriously, started making my own books when I was a small child, but blogging saved my life in the spring of 2005, when I stumbled across a link to TypePad in a post-breakup haze and LaurieWrites just...happened (not a name I'd pick now, but at that time it seemed to get the point across.)
I write about music, politics, pop culture and all things random about daily life. Sometimes I'm funny. This all led to a gift of a gig as a contributing editor at BlogHer, where I currently write about pets and family, with a side of politics. I've also contributed to AGirlMustShop.com, and a bunch of DC-area print publications. Last fall, thanks to all of these online shenanigans, I started a master's program in online journalism after a decade as a counselor, social worker and occasional freelance writer. A year, a trip to Vietnam and many hysterical deadlines later, it's safe to say it's all about words, pictures and people from here. (And yes, Mom, there will (hopefully) be health insurance.)
I still live in D.C.'s Maryland suburbs, where I boss around/love dearly a menagerie of family and friends of all ages. I take pictures every day, and I'm addicted to my Nikon D80, Canon PowerShot630 and Flickr. Also hazelnut coffee, music, Bravo, New York City, all manner of magazines, the Internet, good food, the idea of the ocean, travel to anywhere under the sun and little dogs.
