Author has written 36 stories for Life, General, Love, War, General, Humor, Nature, Fantasy, Supernatural, Spiritual, and Family. For a start, I always welcome any kind of review, even if it is rude. All reviews have value to me and will help me to become a better writer. At first, I may be shocked at what I get, but it helps me in the end. I am quite used to criticism (although I am not too much of a fan of it), and to be honest, I very much enjoy the critiques that I have gotten from the people on this site. I am very proud to be on a site full of bright people. Updates will be very infrequent because work and school keep me busy. Looking over other people's work is one of my only talents that I truly enjoy. I of course also enjoy writing; otherwise I wouldn't be here today. I write more than I put on here, but there are certain works that I write that other eyes must not view. I must also state that I am really proud of anyone who has the courage to upload his or her work that he or she put his or her heart and soul into. Even if one gets a lot of bad reviews on a story, one must also be proud of oneself for putting the work on this site because it shows that one is willing to allow other people's thoughts to influence one's writing style. As for getting into the scope of who I am, I am merely a shattered collection of what my past was and am growing as each day passes. I was once an interesting person who seemed to be complex and mysterious. I had been reduced to being just like everyone else before rediscovering that I am a unique person with my own set of talents. I felt like a drone that was a cookie cut of everyone else. It was rather depressing feeling. I, however, have learned to assimilate myself while still being able to embrace who I truly am. It is very hard for me to find the time to express myself thoroughly. Daily, I must endure schedules... schedules... paper work... paper work... But there is a bright side to this story. I have a good family, a lovely job, and parents who are willing to let me stay at home for a few days and not be as productive as I should be. My friends are plentiful even if I do not speak to them often due to busy schedules and the like. I also have the greatest male friends anyone could ask for. Life isn't all bad, despite the monotony of it. I am finally seeing that little rainbow that I dreamed about seeing 20 years ago. Everything in my life seems pretty damn good, and I couldn't ask for better. I have a great roommate, great intellectual classes (some of them are kicking my ass right now, but I am prepared to fight back with vigor), and great animals. I like to ride my horse, Poughkeepsee, a lot because she and I work as a team. I have a kitten as well named Bootsie who is just the most adorable thing in the world. I love my other cats and my dogs, too. I like animals in general. My life is centered around them, and I work hard for my degree so that I may able to support them later on in life. Alas, if anyone wishes to contact me about my writing, then please E-mail me at jonessn@muc.edu or EdFunQueen@aol.com. | |||||||||||||
1. StupidityA "riddle" poem I wrote about Stupidity. It has some "elaborate" vocabulary. To show off my intellectual skills at age 15 was the only purpose it served.
