Please post something about yourself that I don't know. :)

I have a nephew who's middle name is Virgil.

No fair! Nothing you don't know. Oh, except I wrote the first two sentences of my werewolf novel just now.

*squee!!!* *clapping hands* Good for you! What are they?

[yendi]

Not good enough to post. I've already re-written them about ten times.

[deza.livejournal.com]

Stop that! Write, write, and write some more. Don't revise until after you're done writing, or you'll never get it done.

Well, for the opening sentence, I needed to to at least flow into the scene itself. It wass clunky as anything the first two times I wrote it today (and I only thought of how I was going to write it in the shower this morning, even though this scene (the filmed version, which would only be about twenty seconds) has been in my head for years). I needed that first paragraph to work so I could make everything else happen. I've got it working now. :-)

I wanna see!

[yendi]

Tonight, love. Not enough there now.

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

Okay. And I'll show you issue 1 so far.

Is this....

[sambear.livejournal.com]

...for publication or just for pleasure? Do you have a contract? Woo!

Re: Is this....

[yendi]

No contract, but I'd love it to be for publication eventually. In the meantime, it's both for pleasure and for flexing my writing muscles..

I prefer my prescription shades to my normal glasses, but I don't get to wear them often enough because of the Irish weather.

Ummm...

Since I have no idea how much you know about me... this is either harder or easier than it seems to be. Okay, here's something.
I wasn't allowed to watch cartoons at all when I was a kid because when I was 5, they gave me hideous nightmares. So bad, that I actually still remember them.

Re: Ummm...

Wow!

(I actually don't know much about you - I know you live in Canada and write vampire stuff, and that's about it!)

Hmmm....

I am a child of fertitily drugs -- I'm lucky there aren't 6 or 7 of me.

(It did cause me great joy as a child to torment my little brother when I found this out -- my parents tried for two years to have me and were told my mom would never get pregnant again without lots of medical assistance. Just over a year after my birth, she thought she had a kidney infection. Nope, 'twas my brother. Of course, this boiled down to, "Mom and dad *wanted* me. You were an accident." Kids can be so cruel. ;)

I once gave a kid a concussion in a fight when he fell against a brick wall. I spent two hours crying over it.

[bethynyc.livejournal.com]

I'm left handed, and the only foreign country I've ever visited is Canada.

how's that? I don't have any spooky or closety secrets.

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

That's fine. :)

I'm having a Kiki moment, and you're bright and shiny, so, just for you...

My parents named me Kelly. It is NOT the name on my driver's license, so don't try calling me that. But that's what my sisters call me. They were given permission.

Now, if I actually saw aunts and uncles much, I'd make them call me Ro, dammit, because I don't like them enough to care if they have trouble making the change. But my name is Iroshi whether they like it or not. :) Thankfully I live in Texas and they all live in Missouri, so I just don't worry about it much.

Actually my mom and my sister Anniwa mostly call me Ro. It's just Jo and the Kitchen Witch who can never remember it.

And something else you probably don't know: Iroshi means female warrior (which is the same thing my birth name meant), my middle name, Taka, means hawk, and my last name is Windwalker.

[shadesong.livejournal.com]

Ooohhhh, neat! :)

I used to have a Shadowrun character named Windwalker (yes, I'm being geek-girl again).

Iroshi *is* a beautiful name. :)

From one who is a Kelly who goes by Kelly, that rawks!!

I occasionally like to wander around my apartment in the nude.

I don't think there's a whole lot about me you don't know. *thinks* When I was a little girl, I once wore a nightgown to school because I thought it was pretty enough to be a dress. I was in the 2nd grade.

I haven't painted/drawn in charcoal for three years - haven't even tried. Haven't written poetry in two years. I delete most everything I write. But I can't stop writing.
