A Bit About Me

Hi, I'm Gail Lakritz, a starving humorist, who thinks writing is more important than eating.

Have you ever wondered what it is like to be a freelance humor writer? Well, the short answer is life’s a beach, and then you begin to write.

After many years of marriage, I found myself suddenly single. But my off brand way of seeing life and the many experiences it dishes out to each of us, all goes to prove that life begins again when you pick up a pen, or in my case, bash away on a keyboard.

Living in Williamsburg, Virginia, more than just the home of the Colonial Era revisited, has introduced me to life’s just off center experiences and further off center people.

Mother Toad, great idea to create a blog. I love your writing.

Thank you. I write for myself, but you guys are the icing on the cake.

I'm amazed such excellent humor can rise out of an essentially humorless town — if you don't count the clothes they wear in CW and the basketball team at W&M. Blog away, M.T.

Gail, get sitemeter; i's only about $60 for the year and well worth it; I put it on my blog and I have a constant count of traffic along with details regarding referral sites and outclicks.
Take a look at my blog and click on my site meter to sign up for your own.
Good luck!

Hi Gail, I like your writing, you always give me a laugh.

Ah, Gail. When someone suggested you take that Saturday morning 'free' Home Depot class titled, "How to install a microwave", they didn't think you'd actually try to do it. That is how you were supposed to meet 'handy' men.:)

LOL! Too true, I know a woman who started with a new light fixture in her kitchen...

You're off to a great start, have a BLAST! :)
