About Me
Kids: Have grown kid(s)
Political Leaning: Other
Name: Donna Carbone
Occupation: Freelance writer
Education: Some college
Relationship Status: Married
More about Me: I consider myself a conservabral -- or a liberative. In other words, I never take a stand on an issue without first investigating and weighing the facts. To label oneself and adhere only to the precepts preached by one group is to foster ignorance and stymie the growth of intelligence.
Favorite Music: All music -- well, maybe not rap -- but I'm willing to give everything a listen at least once.
Favorite Books and Writers: Anything with words -- even soup can labels.
I can't live without: My husband and children
I am most proud of: My husband and children
I am most guilty of: Thinking that my family is the best!
Words I live by: "When you stop learning, stop listening, stop looking and asking questions, always new questions, then it is time to die."
Lillian Smith
The world would be a better place, if only: Common sense was a little more common
Interests: Life interests me, and the older I get, the more fascinating I find the workings of the human mind.
Profession: Publicist/Published Author
Slogan: Making common sense more common one blog at a time.
About Me: Married for thirty five years and the mother of the two grown children, I began writing at the age of ten. My first success was winning a poetry contest in grammar school. From that moment forward, I realized that the written word was as vital to my survival as food and air. I am presently working on two books, one of which I hope to finish before I die. A number of my poems have graced A Long Story Short, and I have been published in the Lucidity Journal. Each day inspires me...what I see, hear and experience.... if it stays in my mind, I write about it. __________________________________________
