Hey, there!

Hello, there! I’m Julie and I live in Harpers Ferry with my husband, twin daughters, a sweet chocolate Labrador (the golden child), one badly behaved Australian Shepherd puppy and a flock of chickens. I enjoy reading, writing, cooking and baking in the kitchen with my girls, taking photos of my kids and the world around us, working in my garden and enjoying the many trails in our area when I have time. Here are some snippets of our life together...

Oh, and quiet time. I treasure my quiet time and a decent conclusion to a good day would consist of me, in my canoe, by myself, with a cold drink and a good read. Those moments are few and far between, making them all the more special, of course.

I’m taking this class because, for one, I need it, but also because Dr. H. is teaching it and I just really enjoy her classes. I’m also taking it because I took a class similar to this one a while back and it really left an impression on me that I wasn’t expecting. And, I just really like learning about new things and I guess I’m realizing, as I get older, how much I actually take part in these newer forms of “text” or rewriting that Harris and McCulloch talk about in their books and how it’s not only important to integrate these ideas into my future, but also to understand and appreciate them in the present. 

As for current "internet texts," I'm having a hard time sticking to or finishing much these days between writing and life, but I've recently gotten pretty wrapped up in The Handmaids Tale on Hulu and find myself catching up on an episode or two when I can.

Thanks for reading and I look forward to reading your work and getting to know each one of you!
