Who Is Cindy?
Cindy Vattathil is a mother of three and is, therefore, always tired. However, in between yawns, she tries her best to make art, read books and run a few laps.

As for her writing, stick around and see what pops into her head next!
Hey! How Did You End Up Here?
I know how I did...
I just love to write. Simple.
Ever since I was eight years old, I have wanted to be a writer. When I was a kid, I dreamed of sitting at a typewriter (yes, I'm that old) and plunking out the "great American novel."
In my 20s, I managed to get a few small things published (poems, articles, and an interview or two); but, now that the years have doubled, it's become obvious that somehow life has gotten in my way of my weightier hopes and dreams.
​
So, I haven't done it yet. I haven't written my novel. And frankly, quite often, I only find myself writing grocery lists and quick emails - this is how it goes for most moms. However, I'm not giving up yet.
I'm going to write that novel! One day.
​
Maybe all I need is the right audience (you!) to offer encouragement as I bumble along the way.

Let's see if I can make it happen before the years double again!
