Hey, thanks for visiting!
I’m Emilie and I’m a TwentySomething writer living in the City of Destiny… that’s Tacoma, Washington for all you out-of-towners.
This is my first attempt at a blog, and I hope you’ll bear with me as I learn to navigate lit-life on the internets! I’ll be writing about things that matter to my life: poetry; theatre and music; the joyful craziness of newly-married life with my wonderful husband; news from the band I sing with, Igneous Rocks; fashion and style (not the same thing!); mermaids; gluten-free living and recommendations; what I’m reading; my large and usually colorful family; cool things happening around the Gritty City; being a Bold Lutheran Woman in search of a true opportunity for service through vocation; frustrations and surprising small pleasures of office life as a technical writer; fun things with friends; some random bits and pieces of prose that have been percolating in my head lately; and probably at least a few posts about my cat. She’s crazy.

Hiya –
Not sure if you remember me from the Roanoke Tavern, but we chatted there one night after you had seen the Shrew I directed.
Thanks for your words about it here – an actor sent me the link – it’s such a rare treat to get feedback in this strange biz and I dig your writing.
Wanted to connect you to Marcy Rodenborn and James Venturini who live in Tacoma and make theater there and in Seattle. Good people. You’d like ‘em.
Find me on Facebook – if you’re there – and I’ll connect you all.
Aimée

I think NOT! Seems to me you did some pretty good work on this one:
