My name is Penny and it's a Greek word that means "weaver." I never thought much of the name until I understood what a weaver does. According to the dictionary definition, a weaver interlaces threads, yarns, pieces and random elements into a connected whole to form a fabric.
When I think back, that's what I've done with words since I was a little girl. I would hear a story, read a book, listen to music or observe something in nature and then put it all together into a poem or a short story or lyrics.
Not much has changed over the years, except that I've refined my skills and been exposed to many more exciting adventures that have given me a wonderful well of experience from which to draw ideas.
