About Me


     If you hadn't already noticed from my excited posts, I have some new followers in the past year.  And I would like to welcome all of you and tell you a little bit about myself.

*    *    *
     I am a young adult, a middle child with three siblings -- although I like to say that I have been an oldest, a middle, a youngest, and sort-of-an-only (try and figure that one out!).  I plan to live to be about 120 years old...maybe older (yes, you read that correctly).  I reside in a beautiful state with lots of trees.  I love animals, and I love to be outside.
     I have always enjoyed telling stories, and I first started to consider myself a writer somewhere around the age of 7 years old (which title, I assure you, was entirely undeserved at that point).  Honestly, I think that my craft first started showing real promise about a year or two ago.  And I still don't have anything that I think is ready to be published.
     But I will.  I am going to keep working at it, and continue to get better.  And maybe, someday in the near future, I will be a published author with some excellent works to her name.

*    *    *
     The problem with short bios is that they are such a tiny snapshot of a person.  Humans are wildly multi-faceted.  If I were to spend all day on this post, I still could not tell you everything about myself.  And too many details would bore you anyway.
     So, instead of droning on about myself, I open up my comment section to you.  Enjoy my short bio above and, if there is anything else you would like to know, please feel free to ask me.  And, on the flip side, I would love to hear about you as well!

Hasta luego!

More Snippets from Snow White Rose Red

    One of the shadows moved.   “Were you just going to chuck it in there with no thought for the poor folks on the other side?”   Flip’s voice drawled out.   It was a deep voice and it made my heart skip a beat.      He moved away from the trees and came to stand in front of me.   “Some hard-working fellow is plowing his field and then – whop!   Out of nowhere, a poisoned apple flies out and hits him upside the head.”   He clucked his tongue reproachfully.

A Short Story Break

via Pinterest     It has been a while since I penned a short story.  Usually it takes something like a "short story contest" to inspire me.  But I have noticed my writing skills improve with each contest so there is something to be said for writing short stories.      I say all this to lead into the fact that I am going to try another short story.  There is no contest looming on the horizon, but it has been so long that I think I am due to write a short piece.  Life cannot be entirely devoted to novel-length plots...      I am rolling around different ideas in my head.  There is no one to give me the first three words or a picture to base my story on.  There are no restrictions, no props, and no judges.      Methinks I will try something that is both epic and ordinary...something I have seen before.  After all, personal experience, great things, and the expression of the ordinary are part of what makes a story. 

The Countdown: Eight Days

Eight days.  Do you know what that means?  Barely over a week.  Tomorrow will be one week from the announcement date. Are you excited? I am. So, today, I want to talk to those who wrote something for the contest, whether or not you entered it in the end. What made you start writing your story?  What was the first inkling of an idea that tickled your brain?  What was it that you liked about your premise?  As you wrote, did you have a favorite character or a favorite scene?  And are you glad you wrote it down?  Do you feel like you learned and grew in your ability as a writer as you tried out things for this contest? And, if your story isn't included in this year's Rooglewood anthology (either because you didn't submit it or because it didn't fit with the other four stories selected), what will you do with it?  Will you market it elsewhere?  Or will you lock it away in a drawer?
