The middle daughter of four children, Ellie grew up adept at manuvuering between the personalities of her siblings. She has a history of feeling unseen, and she turns to writing to find her voice. Her childhood was filled with days spent outside- her imagination giving mundane objects new life and purpose. More at home sitting in a tree than in a crowd of people, Ellie struggles with connecting at times. Tending to become overly emotional when talking, writing provided her an outlet to be able to speak without tripping or getting caught on spoken words. Ellie has traveled and read extensively, and her work is inspired by what she sees around her. She is currently living under a rock in North Idaho and spends her free time hunting down the perfect coral lipstick.

Great picture!
I echo your sentiment--I can write beautifully because I have the time to think clearly, but speaking gracefully what I want to communicate feels unsuccessful so often...I also write to heal though...to communicate things that I don't usually want to talk about or know when or how to talk about: family relationships.
