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 what my office looks like when it is clean. It is hardly ever clean.
