Howdy! I’m so glad you found your way to my site. I'm Maddie McDowell,* but you can call me Mad. I used to be a dutiful daughter, a steadfast spouse, a proficient parent, a supportive sister, a faithful friend, and a dedicated director of training.
Then, one day, I had an epiphany. All of that niceness and responsibility made me as dull as dirt. I looked around and saw my creativity heaped in a corner and covered with dust. When I walked over and poked it, I was relieved to discover that it was only mostly-dead.
So I quit my corporate job, started this blog, outlined a speculative fiction novel, and began singing karaoke at a moment's notice — without the benefit of adult beverages. My goal is to be less well-mannered-golden-retriever and more tap-dancing-yodeling-unicorn.
