[Jacobson, Shawn D]

Amy Welcome aboard.

I'm also from Maryland (well originally from Iowa but I live in MD now).  I'm also fairly new at this and am learning a lot from the crew here.

I hope you enjoy our group; prepare to be inundated with Emails.

Hi, everybody.  My name is Amy Herstein.  I might show up as Lynn on
the list but prefer to be known as Amy.  I am an aspiring writer who
would love to get in contact with a more experienced person, maybe a
freelance writer, who might be willing to offer some helpful pointers
to someone just getting started.  I have a B.A. in English and an MA
in teaching English as a Second Language, love writing fiction, and
enjoy editing and writing creative essays.

I'm from Maryland, and we haven't had much of a winter here, either.
There were a few days when it dipped below twenty, but there have been
less than ten of them since winter began.  When it is cold, I must
confess I'm a bit of a wimp.  I tend to shelter indoors, drinking a
mug of herbal tea, spiced cider, or hot cocoa.  I love baking, as it
warms the house and fills the kitchen with wonderful aromas.  I spend
a lot of the colder days inside, huddled beside a box heater with a
book to read.  My latest tradition is counting down the days until
spring arrives again.  I start at a hundred, then count them down
until I hit zero.  (If anyone wants to know, there are now 48.)

It's great to get on this list, and I'm looking forward to interacting
with everyone.

Amy Herstein
