Jen Maravegias, Staff Contributor: Jen is excited to finally have an outlet for all of her random thoughts on the dumb movies and weird TV shows she spends way too much time watching. While a degree in Creative Writing sounded like a good idea at the time, now she wishes she had more of an interest in a field that offered a pension and a retirement plan, like HVAC repair, or plumbing. Her life is a poorly managed balancing act between a day job, writing, parenting, and owning three cats. You can follow her on Twitter if you want to know what that looks like. |
