Taylor Houston is a genuine Word Nerd. She holds a degree in Creative Writing/English and Spanish from Hamilton College in Clinton, NY. In the English graduate program at Penn State, she taught college composition courses and helped many students navigate sentence structure and effective rhetoric.
Having just recently moved to lovely Portland, Oregon from Seattle, Taylor Houston is looking for more opportunities to teach and write. While in Seattle, Taylor taught middle school Language Arts. She has also led several writing groups in New York, Pennsylvania, Colorado, Seattle, and in Portland (hopefully!)
Taylor loves Spanish words, too. She double majored in Spanish and has taught middle school, high school, and college level Spanish classes. In her free time, she reads everything in sight, nags her husband about capitalization, and debates the finer points of comma usage with anyone who will listen.

Hi, Taylor! This is John from the former Writer’s Cramp Seattle. Just thought I’d check in and see how you are doing in Portland. Somehow, I forgot about your blog, and somehow, I remembered it. I haven’t written in months, not since our group here disbanded, but I have been thinking about it a lot, recently. Anyhow, I hope to check your blog more often and maybe try to find another writing group in Seattle; I’m not very good at being a self-starter/self-disciplinarian.
Best,
JA

Hi!! Glad to hear from you. I have been busy in Portland with Wordstock and now I’m writing for Litreactor.com. I miss Writer’s Cramp though! I hope you keep writing, though. I know it’s hard to stay motivated. Check out litreactor.com it’s all about writing. You might enjoy it! My best to you!
