Hiya People!
Hi. I'm rms and this is a lens about me and my lenses!
My real name is Robin and I grew up and spent most of my life on Long Island. (That explains the accent.) I was, up until recently, the contributing editor of both Fresh Cooking From Your Garden, and Creative Writing - Sell Your Fiction over at Garden and Hearth. I left there to pursue some of my other goals, one of which is to write a novel.
I also write essays, short stories and, on occasion, a little poetry. I have been published both online and in print, in newspapers, magazines, ezines, several anthologies, and in two different poetry books. My short story, Yellow Ribbons, which appears in the anthoology, Touched by Wonder, was recommended for a Nebula Award.
I'm having a ball creating lenses here at Squidoo. What writer doesn't dream of instant publishing gratification? Take a look at what I've created and accomplished so far!

- Just stopping by to say thanks for all you do to support would-be Giants and for all your work with Bonnie on the purple stars and Get Cracking Challenge, not to mention your kind comments on my face painting lenses!
I have no idea how you do it all... but I'm glad you do. :) Should have said a proper thank you here sooner but I appreciate everything you do.

- Wow Robin! You must be with Bonnie in the 10 minute power nap 3x a day club! So many great lenses, so little time to read them and and hope to write some, too! For some reason my body is screaming at me to sleep though, so it will have to wait until another day! I'm loving Get Cracking though! :)
