Hi Motif readers, I’m Meg. I moved from Oakland, CA to PVD in May 2018 and work as a freelance writer and marketing specialist.
Writing to me isn’t a choice or even something I think about. It’s my primary method of communication and the way I process information. It’s hard to explain without writing a book; but I believe we are all writers and if you don’t think you are, then stop thinking in terms of grammar and style: Start thinking about how to get the voice in your head, and the heat in your heart, down on the page; that’s writing. I’m excited to write for Motif because ever since moving to Providence I’ve been developing crushes on all these Rhode Island residents, so that’s what I want to write about – the people who make this strange little state so dreamy and worthwhile.
Fun-ish facts about me: I once lived in the Hotel Buckminster and not long after that I lived in a house full of frogs, turtles, cats, iguanas and a boa constrictor. I work part-time on a horse farm shoveling horseshit and it’s truly the best part of my week, and I’ve been playing cribbage since I was six (aka I’m very good at counting to 15 and 31).
