About this author

I have been reading and writing, basically, ever since I learned how to, and everything I've done has pretty much been connected to those two things. I went to college at a small, fantastic school (with a super writing program) called St. Andrews Presbyterian College. I got my Master's degree in Creative Writing from Florida State. I have worked as an event coordinator at a major chain bookstore; as a freelance writer; a composition instructor; an editorial assistant at an NYC publisher; as manager of an independent children's bookstore, in Decatur, GA, Little Shop of Stories; and am currently Program Director of the Decatur Book Festival.

Terra said "yes" to attending the event: Guest Post - My Favorite Writing and Reading Spots
2890032
date: January 24, 2012 06:59AM
location: The United States
description: My latest guest post is about my favorite writing and reading spots. What are your favorite places to read and write? http://vanessa-morgan.blogspot.com/20...
Terra said: Would be happy to, Vanessa. My favorite writing spot though is boring: my office in my house. I can stand up at it (instead of sitting down for hours, which is bad for you), listen to whatever music I want, and can quit to dance around or do a chore if my brain gets stuck!
