A more comprehensive bio, for your reading pleasure… ;)
The Girl: Emily Claire, aged 20, in the Kentucky area. I go to school at Murray State University. I am actually a Creative Writing major, emphasis in poetry although I enjoy my fiction classes as well. It took me a while to settle down and stick with the major that I should have been in all along. I'm considering getting an MFA in Creative Writing so I can teach and write and get paid for it. I used to be a dance minor but since my school cut the program, I'm a German minor, which I, in turns, love and hate. (Mostly hate). Dance is one of my biggest passions (besides writing/books). I may not be the world's best dancer, but dance has always been a part of my life and I hope always will. I have to create and perform and love almost every minute of it. I've recently started serious choreography. I'm also big into theatre, acting, directing, and dramaturgy, the whole deal.
I don't like people who take themselves too seriously, which includes arrogance and perpetuating false conceptions of your personal bad-ass-ness. I’m kind of a drama queen but in a grounded, down-to-earth way, if that’s possible. I’m extremely random and humorous but I love witty repartee and intelligent humor. I love music and am unnaturally obsessed with books. Aaand despite what this paragraph sounded like, I’m not trying to date you.
The Writing: I've opened another profile where I post my (serious) work from classes (see link below), so the stuff I post up here is mostly fun stuff that I could never ever never ever ever turn in on class. It's where I get out all those little itches to write romance and fantasy stories. I accidentally just wrote "fantasty" which is hysterical. All of my stories are, in fact, fantasty and delicious.
My writing heroines are Audrey Niffenegger, Janet Fitch, Anita Diamant, Alice Sebold, and Jodi Picoult, lovely women who manage to make the day-to-day interactions between people into something more interesting and thought provoking. My favourite poets are Tony Hoagland, Margaret Atwood, Sylvia Plath, Dana Levin, Yusef Kumenyakaa, Frank O'Hara, Elizabeth Bishop, so on and so forth...
I have a pretty good grasp of grammar and spelling, but since my prime writing hours are from midnight to three AM (and later, if I don’t have to work in the AM…) sometimes even my best efforts are spoiled. I try to keep my unnatural love of CAPITALS, bolding, and italics to a minimum.
Contact her: I love reviews. I’ll continue writing even if you do not review, but I really love them and they not only inspire me to write more, but often give me ideas…feel free to message me or email me anytime, I love to talk to people and meet people. If you review my stories, I try to get around to reading/reviewing yours, if I can. I am one of those people who can take constructive criticism, so don’t worry about what you write. I always take reviews with a grain of salt (unless it’s unadulterated praise, of course) and will probably read your stuff before I decide how seriously to take your review. But I love you. Also, I have a pretty amusing blog, (what can say, I’m an amusing person and normal things never happen to me…) please check it out and leave me love! www.xanga.com/suhrheinrich
The Stories: I am hesitant to list any sort of progress or lack thereof on here because I go for writing stories for this site nonstop for a few months to writing for this site not at all for a few months, so it just kind of depends. "In the Age of Treachery" is the biggest current project, but it's currently on hiatus as this profile is on hiatus.
I took down the Accolade, Sequel and Bookstore stories. Hope no one cries, I appreciate all the fans and awards those stories won, but they're just too too too embarrassing for a Creative Writing major to have attached to her name.
Cheers to all for even sticking with my profile this long.
UPDATE! This profile is currently on hold because I'm in two different writing workshops this semester and any free time for writing I have is spent on projects for those classes. Luckily, there are only three weeks left in the semester, so as soon as I'm home free for the summer, I'm sure I'll get back to updating stories here and also coming up with new ones. As much fun as learning to write the proper way over proper topics is, I miss all my silly romance stories!
