I am a Florida, USA Native--A rare breed. |
I have written all my life. As an adult, I worked for a while for a newspaper. I did write the first draft of a novel. The only copy was destroyed in a house fire. Let that be a warning to keep a copy safe--like here on WDC. Then the kids came along... I didn't start really writing again until the kids were grown. I am currently working on a YA Fantasy novel, that isn't quite ready to show here on the website . . . but, soon. |
I'm a NOP (no outline person). I just know the ending and write everything that makes the ending happen. I write every day. |
I am more interested in characterization than in scenery in a story. What kind of style of writer that makes me, you decide! |
Like most writers, I am interested in everything. Crafts. Antique cars. I love children so much we have 7 of them. I love to travel. I have a spoiled Shih Tzu named Razzle. Oh yeah, I also have a new husband who keeps me straight. |
Don't have one other than http://Writing.Com/authors/shirlene |
I don't have one of those either |
Fantasy, Sci-fi, some Romance--nothing explicit, thanks, Historical/gothic, paranormal, YA, Mystery, Western |
Morning Glory, Twilight Saga, Harry Potter series, De Vinci Code, Vampire for hire by JR Rain, The Vampire LeStat by Anne Rice (anything she writes, actually), Lord of the Rings, A Rose In Winter, |
Laverle Spencer, stephanie Meyer, JK Rowling, Dan Brown, JR Rain, Jean Auel, Anne Rice, Phyllis Whitney, JRR Tolkien, Agatha Christie, David Eddings, Orson Scott Card, Anne McCaffery, Piers Anthony, and too many others to name here |
I'm not really a big poetry buff--I just know what I like. Here are a few of the poets I really like. Maya Angelou, Robert Frost, Edgar Allen Poe, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, some Shakesphere poems, |
"Give a man a fish, you feed him for a day...Teach him how to fish, you feed him for a lifetime." I lived by this when things got tough raising 4 boys as a single mom...It was so worth it, too! |
Some of everything. Literally. From Metalica to Yanni. My latest greatest fav is Usher and Muse. I'm listening right now to the soundtrack from Twilight saga. That mix pretty well sums up the diversity I like. |
Twilight Saga, Beastly, The Sorcer's Apprentice with Nicholas Cage, The Last Air Bender with Jackson Rathbone, Avatar, The fifth Element, The X-Files--I want to Believe, Any Star Trek Movie or series. Yeah, all these have great re-watch value. |
