It is one thing to hear voices. It's another thing to write them down.
Please visit anytime for irrational commentary on music, film, writing, horses and other fauna, Arabic language and culture, politics, depression, anxiety and humor. It is a fine line, after all.
Content may reflect abrupt personality changes.

About Nancy
- Nancy Dietrich
- Columbus, WI, United States
- In an effort to add to my immediate family, I have given birth to a blog. After the epidural, it was fairly painless. I have no kids. No husband has me. I have no literary agent (cough, cough). I don't often have my health. I do have 1 pit bull and 2 Chihuahuas, 1 horse, and a VW beetle. I have a sweet Pearl drum set I can't play anymore because I gave myself tinnitus. I have family, including a beautiful niece. I have a house and two unfinished novels. And now, I have a blog--one more life preserver on my perennially leaky boat. If I'm lucky, perhaps someday it may be a life preserver for someone else in need.
