My contact email is: ruthrobinson701@gmail.com Additional info about me (in list form) My favorite things to do: Teaching, reading, writing, and watching t.v. shows/movies. (Also, I enjoy running.) In writing, I am currently working on: Revising short stories published on Reedsy, and working on new ideas for short work.

Lean In (I am an ELL teacher and the head of my department.) 3. In fiction, anything that strikes my fancy. :) I am currently watching: 1. The new season of Cobra Kai! (I love Johnny. He rocks.) 2. Curb your Enthusiasm (Larry David's writing is outstanding.) 3. The Bear (Watch this show. The writing is also outstanding.) Personal philosophy: "If I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain." (Emily Dickinson) My favorite writers: There are so many. (I love reading and writing.) Off the top of my head, S. King, Poe, Hawthorne, Flannery O'Connor, Margaret Atwood, Harper Lee, Truman Capote, Fannie Flagg, F. Scott Fitzgerald, O. Henry, Rod Serling, Richard Matheson, Hemingway, Jane Austen, and many more. (Basically, I read/write any kind of story, as long as I enjoy the process.) Many thanks, and have a great day, Ruth
