Author has written 15 stories for Romance, Love, Life, Friendship, Humor, and Politics. "There are three rules for writing the novel. Unfortunately, no one knows what they are." - W. Somerset Maugham (1874-1965) So I make up my own rules for writing: I write what I know, and what I don't know I make up; sometimes there are occasions where I make up what I know and I know what I make up. Make sense? For me, writing is the expression of who I am - thus, I tend to switch abruptly between heartwrenching drama and light, comic pieces, because that's a part of what I see myself as: a complex, weird person. As always, thanks so much for your comments and for reading. I appreciate that more than I can say. : Random Facts : Born in Ecuador - has two beagles - collects ceramic, painted masks - loves Chinese food - takes kickboxing classes - wants to know how to play the harp - wants to live in Australia or London - is in love with Paul Rudd - is the Organizational Editor for literary magazine - is a worry wart - is a perfectionist - Sigma Tau Delta - plays with hair when annoyed - is a huge klutz - drives too fast. : Interests : Writing fiction - reading everything - kickboxing - oil pastel - the classic movies with Bette Davis/ Jimmy Stewart/ Audrey Hepburn/ Humphrey Bogart/ Natalie Wood/ Gregory Peck - civil rights - Final Fantasy games - Metafiction - 19th century fiction - Sylvia Plath and Langston Hughes poetry - Paul Rudd - Greek mythology - LoTR - PETA - vintage clothes - Bilingual literature - Impressionist art - 80's dance music - La Raza - R&B - Alternative rock - Blues - Gilmore Girls - Charmed - Friends - That 70's Show - Garfield | |||||||
