hey there, nice to meet you!

Blonde woman in glasses sits on a grey couch playing a ukulele. She is wearing light wash ripped jeans and a vibrant pink sweater. Pink light filters in through a tinted window and above her head is a round white lamp hanging down.

My name’s Robin— I’m a singer/songwriter, aspiring novelist, and current MFA student studying creative writing. That’s actually why I’m starting this blog. It’s actually an assignment for one of my classes (but secretly I’m just using that as an excuse to start this thing that I was already thinking about doing).

I’m a proud cat mom, an avid reader and habitual writer, and I’m chronically ill and disabled. I’d say that when I got sick, but I’m not sure I ever really got healthy. I spend most of my time drinking coffee and tea and watching too many commentary videos on YouTube. I think everyone has a few facts they can give about themselves that give a pretty good picture of who they are, so in addition to what I’ve already said here are some facts about me that I think are pretty telling:

  • I used to drive a Volkswagen bug but I drive a Jeep now.

  • I worked in the kids’ section of my local library as an assistant librarian. (This last summer we raised monarchs!)

  • Taylor Swift is the soundtrack to my life.

  • I prefer living alone.

  • I was in marching band in high school— I was drum major, which meant I conducted for performances.

I hope that gives you a pretty good idea of who I am!
