First Blog

First it was email... then a Geocities site (yeah, remember those?), THEN my cousin made me a myspace. Now, a blog. I don't even blog on my myspace. But honestly, I'm here because my former drama director, now author, who made quite an impact on me in my youth, recently started a blog here. She asked that we (her readers) comment on her blog. I honestly wasn't sure how, so I just started clicking things, and when given the option to create an account, I thought, "Why not?" After all, I'm a writer, too, and it may come in handy one day. In the mean time, I might as well tell you some things about myself.

My name is Grace. I'm 22, I've been married for 3 years and we have a dog named Allie. I'm sure I'll talk about her a lot. Currently, we live with my cousin, Julie (also a co-author with me; aka my "twin"), her husband, her sister, and another roommate. I work at Calvary Christian Academy as a Teacher's Aide and Performing Arts Director. I am also a Mary Kay Skin Care Consultant, and I work at our church, Ethos, as the Pastor's Assistant/Written Media Editor. Obviously, I'm a busy person. but somehow I find time to write, read, watch The Office, and poke around online.

Oh, and if you're wondering about the name... bink/binkel was my nickname when I was a kid (ok, I admit it still is...), so this is the Binkel... Link.... get it? Yeah, it's cheesy. Oh well.

Ok, I think that's about it. Next blog: intro to one of the books I'm writing. I would appreciate feedback. If people don't like it, people won't read it, and they won't buy it, and I won't get paid, and I won't be able to make a living doing what I love. So feedback is important. Stay tuned.
