My name is Inigo Montoya…
just kidding.
My name is Carissa Mina
I like books
And art
And writing
I like strange things
And funny things
And dead things
I like clowns
(not the happy kind)
I am a doer
And daydreamer
I have a mustache typewriter
I have lots of notebooks
I have written in some of them
I write novels
And poems
And picture books
Sometimes I finish them
Sometimes I don’t
Sometimes I draw stuff
I have a top hat
and a monocle
I have lots of books
I will read them all
Someday
(maybe)
I am interested in many things
Like math
And science
And philosophy
I plan to learn more about these things
Someday
(maybe...if I read the books)
I am a pen clicker
A slinky slinker
I have a troll on my desk
He is turquoise
I have magnetic finger puppet authors that stare at me while I write
(they always look disappointed)
I have two children
(they only look disappointed sometimes)
And two dogs
And one cat
(he is very cute and annoying)
I have a husband
(he is very cute and annoying)
I am working on many things:
Like books
And art
And learning
I plan to share these things with you
Someday
(definitely)
This is me when I was little. I was pretty cute.
“You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose.”
This is me all grown up...notice the clown.
“We have to continually be jumping off cliffs and developing our wings on the way down.”
This is what my office looks like when it is clean. It is hardly ever clean.
