Subject: INTRO: Barbara Vaughan Hello, My name is in question I think I am Barbara but most people call me Barb as well as another names such as Salty, Baggs, Salt Sacks .......and heaven only knows what else. I am a wanna be writer. However, at the moment my life full of teaching English as a Second Language in Mount Vernon, Washington. 35 live middle schoolers require much reflective thought to maintain a semblance of educational balance and free minutes are found in rare places. My pedigree includes an adventuresome life lived in California during the Beach Boys days , New Mexico during the Nichols days, and Washington during the Bill Gates days. Mothering, teaching K-5, studying, and traveling have occupied the days of my life. If you count "Mystery the Wild Horse" the San Francisco Examiner circulated in the children's Sunday section when I was 12 years old, I actually an a published writer. As you can see my style includes overly complex sentences which require incessant editing...but not this time. Children's literature is my current area of creative writing. I am enjoying the variety found on this list .
