Author has written 36 stories for X-Files, Samurai Jack, X-Men: Evolution, Sandman, Last Samurai, Harry Potter, Love Actually, Numb3rs, Ironman, and Mission: Impossible. To begin: "You will excuse me, I am sure. ... I nearly fell into the error of supposing that your occupation was type-writing. Of course, it is obvious that it is music. You observe the spatulate finger-ends, Watson, which is common to both professions? There is a spirituality about the face, however" - she gently turned it towards the light - "which the typewriter does not generate. This lady is a musician." "Yes, Mr. Holmes, I teach music." - from "The Adventure of the Solitary Cyclist," the fourth story in The Return of Sherlock Holmes, by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle My life is still one big happy blur: full-time teacher of many subjects, my instrument among them, and full-time struggling musician, slowly gathering up the courage to chase down big dreams. We'll see what happens. And then there's the writing. I've been at it in some form or another since 1995, and I can't seem to stop. Behold the results: the ever-growing collection of brain droppings below. Please do review (if you're so inclined) and enjoy. - Kiki PS: I get Alerts. Review Alerts are responded to quickly and compulsively. The rest of the Alerts ... um, not so much. For example, I laugh (affectionately) at all the yo-yos who put completed stories of mine on Story Alert, as though more words will magically appear simply through their misguided force of will. But I would like to say a big "muchas gracias" here to all the folks who didn't/don't review but still put me on some type of Favorite List (Author, Story, etc.). Thanks for your support, everyone. :-) | |||||||
