This week, while catching up on many homework assignments for Advanced Composition, I had to write an analysis of my writing process and cite one of my past writing assignments in order to explain whether that particular piece was typical or atypical of my writing style. First, I should confess to y'all that despite the fact I very much want to learn any and everything in my pursuit of a degree in English Literature, this type of assignment completely freaks me out because... I have to analyze myself. Well, my style, my process-- which is equivalent to my self on many levels. Why am I telling you all this? Because, you my darlings were mentioned in the analysis that I submitted today. Okay, some of you were ;)

I've developed the habit of seeking advice from my F-list here on LJ, which mostly consists of FLAMERS of course, and they have pleased me to no end with their brilliant minds that never fail to produce amazing ideas. The particular piece that I cited, was very much atypical of my usual research writing style for several reasons. One being that I was inspired by negativity (the absolute abhorrent attitudes conveyed in the previous week's papers I was assigned to peer review). Two being that I was actually inspired. I had never used that word when speaking of academic research papers before. And third, when mulling over this juicy bit of inspiration, I sought the opinions and aid of the F-listers. They were quite impressive!

I do like to give credit where credit is due! That being the case, I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you all for being the heartbeat of this amazing community!

Tonight, I'd like to introduce you all to a fellow FLAMER, and someone who has definitely attributed to the strength of our collective heartbeat! My darlings, I give you pelethetart !

 

Before I can really say anything about myself, I must first apologize to Kat, who asked me to do this ages ago. Really, I kowtow before you and beg forgiveness. Then I wish to take a moment to celebrate her for introducing us to so many awesome writers here, which I am honoured and priveledged to just rub a shoulder against. **happy dance**shake it wit me**happy dance**

Bio:

Now that that is out of the way, Hey! How ya doin'? I'm Lynne, the "e" is actually pronounced so it's Lynnie. Don't ask. Just roll with it. ;-)

Like everyone else here, I've been writing since Jesus was a baby. No really. I'm pretty sure if I had past lives, I was writing and that when I was in the womb for this life, I was making stuff up in preparation for when I finally made it outside. The only fan-fic I've ever written was when I was 5, my cat died and I wrote a "Dick, Jane and Spot" story where Spot died so someone else would feel what I did. My sister helped me write the words and I drew the pictures. Last I knew my mom still had it in the fire safety box at her house.

What else? I do much better with questions to work off of *raises eyebrow in Kat's direction*.

I'm a Libra and I truly think it shows in my writing. I write happy, silly slice-of-life stuff just as easily as I write really dark, speculative pieces…both with equal abandon and a similar "writer possessed" nature. I don't plan or plot or even think. More like a muse slaps a movie in my head and I have to scramble to get it out before the movie ends.

Ummmm…I'm a mother of an awesome 15y.o. young man. I live a very blessed, incredible life that has involved traveling all over the world, being a professional circus/sideshow/belly dance/burlesque/Renaissance Faire performer, dying twice, professionally painting nearly nude people for art purposes, seeing some of the zaniest stuff and meeting some of the most incredibly, uniquely amazing people ever. Yeah, I know. That was a long run on sentence. I'm writing how I speak here, without all the gesticulations and animation I'm accused of having. Just imagine it and work with me here.

I am also an avid research/learning fiend. I love it. I eat it up and honestly do not understand people who are content to just put things in stories because they hope or think they are right, or worse, don't even care if they are or not.

What's all this mean? All of my stories, even the most far-fetched of them, have some basis in reality. Either from my experiences or from my research, however, if there is some obscure detail ~ an herb, a myth, a deity, what have you ~ in my story, I've researched it to make sure I use it accurately and to add that extra depth, even if no one really notices.

The Chosen Piece:

Some of that was put into this story. It's the first one I wrote for Brigit's Flame, for a mini-contest back about a billion stories ago, even though it was only a few months.
