I started this community because I adore writing and helping others.  I am very passionate about both, so this was the perfect muse for me!  If you need anything, do not hesitate to email or message me.  Together we will make this community great!

My web page contains many of my published and unpublished articles, essays and short stories.

I have been writing stories and poems since childhood.  Most of the music composition and storytelling has been in my head and hasn't made it down to the pen-and-paper stage yet. 

 

A licensed minister since 1996, I specialize in Art and Dream Therapy with a degree in Social Work since 1994, as well as being Master level in traditional and non-traditional Reiki, and One Brain Therapy.  I am also proficient in other healing arts such as aromatherapy and much more.  

 

I studied under an internationally-reknowed herbalist/aromatherapist and now author for 5 years.

 

I love food, cooking (especially when I have someone who likes my cooking), and if I had room again, I'd have a garden to grow my produce and herbs. 

 

I like the Edwardian Era and the writings that came out of it, but I'm rather eclectic when it comes to writing styles.  I've had fun with my studies of the Middle Ages, and some of you know that I'm involved in Society for Creative Anachronism. 

 

Music, I love almost all kinds of music.  I grew up with the musicals and I know only one other person my age who can outsing me on them.

 

I have an avid interest in world religions, and have studied many.  I've only run into one or two that I had real problems with.

 

In my Social Work Degree Core Classes, I had to make up a genogram of my family tree.  That re-inspired me to get back into geneology, and am diligently tracing what records remain of my family tree.  It's difficult to say the least when I reach stumbling blocks because of wars having destroyed much of the records, to say nothing of the poor record-keeping of most people anyway.

 

I enjoy good, well-rounded, conversation, and have little if any tolerance for insincere people or people who would otherwise do someone harm based on general principles alone.  In other words, I don't need the bad energy.

I'm Cheesy, 25, female and I live in Belgium!!!

My great passion is egyptology and getting around the comms!!!!

I'm 25 years old, and I have been writing for the past 9 years. I'm in the process of being published (HOPEFULLY), and working on other novels. With the rest of my time, I take care of my handicapped mom, and tend to my various hobbies (dreaming of the perfect garden spot, cooking "gourmet" meals, daydreaming, and keeping our four cats (Angel, Dandelion, King Tut, and Stinky George) from tearing the house down around us. I swear our cats are just like little kids running around!

Hello everyone :o) It's a pleasure to be a part of such a wonderful and exciting group. I look forward to sharing my work with you and being able to read ur work as well :o) I know this is going to be a great place to be in ;-)

 

*If you would like to know more about me go to my web page. I am also going to be putting up my own web site where I will put up some of the things I write. In the mean time feel free to look at my web page to get to know me better. Enjoy :o)*

life, for the most part, is long and boring, filled with animosity, mundanness, and apathy. the only thing that actually makes it interesting isthe base need of needs: hunger.

I've been writing my whole life, or reading, or raising kids. II am currently a student, after y6ears of working in a factory or many different positions in the "service industry" I'm even learning a new way of writing!

I wrote several things here. I wrote the story 'Charlies' and a poem called 'Crows. For right now, that's all I've posted. Well, if you haven't heard too much of me already, that's too bad. I'm done.

I've been writing for pleasure since childhood and for profit during the past couple of years. I've had minor successes with short stories and writing competitions and decided to try to spread my wings a little. I have one completed novel ms currently with an agent and under consideration and I have another in the edit stages (first draft complete).

Why do I write? I write because I have to, it's as natural as the need to breathe, eat or sleep.When I am not writing I am usually doing the aforementioned three things.

I am determined to succeed...or to die trying!

 

 

 

 

 

I don't wish to simply repeat the posts of other members here but I have to say that yes indeed, I've written all my life and derive such pleasure from doing so.  I live to write, I get my release from writing - it is my sanity and it is what centers me.  In addition, I am very fortunate that my life partner also loves to write and so we share this wonderful passion fully - this I believe is such a huge blessing over us.

 

I've written poetry, short stories etc., over the years.  Currently I am in the process of completing the second half of a children's work of fiction but have just now taken a hiatus from that project until I complete two summer fiction writing classes this year.  These classes will benefit me greatly I believe.  I do not wish to proceed with my novel until I have gained some much needed education in certain aspects of writing and effective story telling.  I have put so much of my heart into this story thus far that I feel I owe it to the story and also to the craft to give the project justice and tell it properly when I have all the tools necessary to proceed.  So it's on the backburner until after those classes.

 

In the interim however, I'm thoroughly intrigued (and loving every minute of it) to be learning the craft of Screenwriting and am looking forward to working on co-writing a screenplay with my husband later this year.  He is a wonderful writer and mentor and my greatest inspiration.  Right now I'm working on my first script and it's very interesting indeed to learn such a different way of telling a story (such a contrast to the art of novel writing though - but a fun challenge nonetheless!)

 

Whoaaaa it's been a year since I updated this!  Time to get current!

I recently graduated from high school and now I have no life.  I could pretty much just end the story there but I'll try spice things up.  I'm currently taking a year off before returning to post secondary to pursue a career in...well I haven't quite figured that out yet either.  In the meanwhile the days tick by as I work in a bookstore at the airport, which definitely gives me my share of adventures.  However, when I'm not working (which isn't very often) I like to play.  I've been writing since I was 12, and I completed my first 287 page book when I was 13.  Since then I have written over a hundred short stories, thirty poems, fifteen scripts, and I am currently working on my fourth book.  So far my only glimmer of publication is that of my short story Ripped which managed to sneak its way into a short story anthology.  I adore writing, and I believe it is a passion that will remain with me for a very long time. 

When I'm not writing I'm usually reading, listening or playing music, and other dorky and nerdy things such as anime, video games, movies, and so forth.  I am the Queen of the Nerds, a title I have finally graciously accepted. 

Working in a bookstore I've discovered some great reads, far too many to name so I'll only list a few.  Those books that are 'gooders' are: J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit, Terry Goodkind's Sword of Truth series, Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451, George Orwell's 1984, and many more. 

Music wise...I'll listen to anything and I will probably enjoy it...unless it's pop, rap, hip hop, country sort of thing.  But hey, sometimes even those genres surprise me and I'll find something I like.  Some personal favs are Linkin Park, Disturbed, Tan Dun, Rob Dougan, Prodigy, Samuel Barber, Apocalyptica, Rob Zombie, Rammstein, Thievery Corporation, E.S. Posthumus, and once again many, many more. 

 Also, yay for animes like Chobits, Trigun, Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust, Blood The Last Vampire, Inu Yasha, Hellsing, Cowboy Bebop, Ayashi no Ceres, and Escaflowne!  The art is stunning, the music is gorgeous, and the stories are unique! 

And my friends!  I love my friends!  They lift me up, stand by me, support me, and encourage me while making fun of me along the way (in a loving way of course)!  We're 18, we're immature, and we're legal!  Whoo!

Yay LOTR!!!
