So this being my first post, I figured I should probably introduce myself and maybe explain the name of my blog so nobody calls the men in white to take me away.

So a little about me, I'm an American originally from the great state of Minnesota but I currently live in Sarajevo, BiH.  I'm happily married and have four sons.  I like to read and write and an occasional glass of red wine.

I recently started writing.  My stories are of the M/M romance genre but most of them have to do with the fluidity of sexuality.  I like to explore the notion that sometimes it's not the sex of the person so much as it is the actual person that we fall in love with.  If you're interested in reading anything I've written you can find the stories here https://www.fictionpress.com/~clmustafic

So then here's a little more about me to help you understand why I decided to start writing.  Ever since I was a little kid, I'd make up stories in my head.  Most of the time it was just because I was bored.  I did it everywhere.  I'd tell myself stories while I was getting ready for school, eating,  going to school, studying, swimming and sometimes even when I was reading another story (the authors never gave me enough, I had to add on).

I have a very active imagination.  It continues to keep me entertained even to this day.  Of course my school days are behind me now so the stories now accompany me while I do dishes and wash laundry.  I'm a wife and mother now but my kids are all in school so that leaves me with a lot of time to fill.

A few months ago I decided that I'd try to write out some of the stories that were entertaining me and see if they could entertain anyone else.  Hence this blog.  So far I've been busy tapping away on my keyboard for as long as the people in my house will allow.  Between the actual people in my life and the ones in my head, I'm a very busy person.

So that's where the Living With the People in My Head title comes from.  I have so many different people clomping around up there that sometimes it feels a little too crowded.  I've found that when I get them out on the page they quiet down some, not needing as much attention from me.  At first that discovery made me do a little jig (woohoo, a little peace and quiet up there) but I soon realized that for everyone I evicted, it seemed that two more moved in.

I'm not sure that I'll ever get them all out but I guess I'll die trying.
