charlotte harris

No, charlotte harris is not my name. And I know it’s not exactly the sexiest of pen names, either. But I prefer to remain incog, so to title this blog I simply combined the names of two relatable characters from a film I have not grown tired of watching. “charlotte harris” doesn’t characterize me, but no one blog header ever could, so I simply stabbed thin air and picked one of many of my favorite ‘things’. I’m in NoVA (DC Metro) and I started blogging here in an effort to coax myself to think and write about themes OTHER than the useless subjects of traffic, exercise, work stress, and dating that were starting to eat up all my free memory. True, I do spend most of my time sitting in traffic, working, going to the gym, and looking for Mr. Right… but none of these activities defines me. It’s the humor and satisfaction I find buried in the everyday details, or it’s the legitimate frustrations of life that I should be deliberating, and so begins my mental exercise. As I knuckle down on this blog, I hope that my thoughts become more provocative and my writing improves, even if I may be the only one who’s reading.
