This blog is a collection of random thoughts and musings of an aspiring author with a bit of a potty mouth.
The views expressed here are all my own.
A little bit about me
You can call me Alicia or Leesha.
I’m a Northern girl who transplanted to the greater Washington D.C. area over ten years ago and never looked back. I love this area – with all my other DC residents and random visitors (even if you don’t know to stay to the right on the escalators, if you plan on just standing there), museums, scenery, history, and yes, even politics. I’m happily making a life here with my little, but loud puppy (she takes after me).
If you’re looking for a place to start, here are some of my favorite posts that I’ve written:
- Why do we educate our daughters
- Thoughts on snow by a small dog
- Gone awry
- Present – for the hard times too
- Granted
- Thoughts on classic lit – Jane Eyre

Books in progress
As an aspiring author, I have a few projects that I’m working to publish. While I do have aspirations (though they’re most likely delusions) of writing a sweeping, literary novel, I primarily write women’s fiction and children’s books.
Nothing officially published yet, but once I do, I’ll be sure to post it!
Excellent–good luck with your projects! 🙂

A few months ago you recommended I try Tazo Chai Latte so I finally got around to it and – oh, man! – my life will never be the same. 🙂 It was so delicious! I wrote a post about it and gave you a shout out. http://ashleeayers.wordpress.com/2014/03/27/a-perfect-tea-indulgence/
Thanks for passing on the tea love. Happy writing!

Hi Janice, other social media sites like tumblr and twitter have helped me to connect with a lot of people, which has been really nice. I’ve heard a lot of good things about Google+ as well, but I’ve yet to try it. Thanks for stopping by. 🙂
