About the Madwoman

Well hello there.

I'm Erin, a 32-year-old writer-lady from San Jose, California. I've been running this blog since 2006, when I was dutifully employed in corporate real estate. I hold a degree in journalism, for all the good it did me; I spent several years in the newspaper business only to find that I had a choice. I could be a reporter, or I could be happy.

I chose happiness, or as close to happiness as I could find, living in my hometown with my new husband, two cats, and working at a "normal" job. By 2010, I'd figured out "normal" wasn't right for me, and I quit my job to pursue something altogether different -- writing my own novel, which I am still working on.

In the meantime I've also maintained this blog and embedded myself into bottomless pool that is the blogging world.

I'm open to any and all possibilities. If you are a brand/sponsor that is interested in having a giveaway, or putting up and ad, or would like me to review a product, please contact me at zeromusings@yahoo.com. I generally write about the following topics: Food, weight loss/dieting, fixing up my house, my cats, books, and lifestyle stuff I generally do or don't like.

Thanks for stopping in!
