Howdy! This is me, as during my movie star phase. Actually, I remember feeling quite under-dressed in the absence of white gloves. My fashionista phase did eventually wane and now, I'm just a crone, living a cozy mystery life, having raised a para-normal kids along side my Prince. And wouldn't you know it, I write the same thing!
The magic happens in The Word Crone Cottage, and is where I can most often be found,. I can usually be coaxed out of the hidey-hole with the lure of coffee or the promise of brilliant conversation. My favorite subjects include:
Writing and Other Storytelling Formats
Visual Processing and Visual Arts, and
Setting as it pertains to creativity.
So you want to become a writer and no one is able to talk you out of it? Okay, here is my straightforward “how-to be a writer” tutorial:
1) Get the heck out of school and go directly to bodyguard training school, (all the while, reading whatever you can lay your hands on in your favorite genre.)
2) Go to Scotland and work in a grocery store for a year, but write at night,
3) Come back to the states and find the most repulsive string of jobs you can,
4) Find a better job, with fabulous co-workers, but with crappy pay,
5) Go back to college,
6) Get the heck out of college and pick-up writing where you left off in Scotland,
7) Write, write, write, (still reading whatever you can lay your hands on.)
(Disclaimer: you may just want to skip steps 2-6, but definitely go to bodyguard training school so you have something to tell your grandkids.)
