Diane Fanucchi - poet@apron.net
Grover Beach CA, U.S.A.
Relative beginner to the Internet.
Interests: poetry, all literature, travel, the therapeutic uses of poetry, holistic health.
I have been a massage therapist and holistic health practitioner, and I am currently a re-entry student, finishing my degree in Creative writing with a minor in psychology. I am considering pursuing poetry therapy as a profession. I have written poetry for several years and have only in the last few begun trying to publish. I have poems published in several magazines, and I have a new chapbood, A Color Between, for which I am seeking a publisher.
This year my husband's three teenaged children have come to live with us, which has been an exciting and sometimes overwhelming new challenge for me, an only child who thought I would never have children. I am learning a lot and generally enjoying this new adventure. I am a very petite introvert living in a house with four large extroverts, which can sometimes seem a little strange. This summer I have been out of classes and writing from home. I can tell that I will need a separate office by the time I graduate. Despite all this company, being a shy but intellectually engaged woman and a writer can sometimes be lonely. I would like to find other women writers for conversation and mutual support.

I am not a published writer, mostly a dream, wish, hobby, and goal in life. I have been too afraid to submit my writings for publication up until now. But that is the goal I am pursuing at this time in my life. I WILL become not only a published author, but this is how I plan to earn my living at some point in the not too distant future.

Although I have published in a regional food and wine magazine (one of my reviews was reprinted in a regional journal), I haven't published elsewhere. I have tremendous difficulties trying to transition between work and writing (I work full-time in an art gallery in Davis). A part is, of course, the limited time and energy. I would love to hear how other writers working at a full-time job solve this problem. I am currently writing a memoir. I have a mystery in mind that I have planned to do for several years, but feel my real passion is in writing the short story.
