About LinkBacks
Hello everyone.
My name is Cheyenne. Writing has been a powerful constant in my life and has proven to be the most reliable source of fulfillment for my soul. It has been an incredible tool for nurturing creativity and has opened portals to deeper levels of understanding. Yet despite how empowering fiction writing makes me feel, I always manage to muddy my reality with great distractions and counterproductive priorities. The rat race is a hell of a thing, a soul sucking machine that steals dreams of better things.
But those days are over. I am nearly three decades into life now, and I can no longer afford to sacrifice the greatest hours of my life to mindlessness. Having spent the last two years severing ties with the machine, I am now whole again and loose in the wild.
I have a number of short stories written and finished, and a batch of others in various stages of the process. I consider them to be exercise but imagine editing them into a collection one day. I also enjoy writing crafted letters to old acquaintances and friends, although I've been a man of few words lately. My true priority is a novel I've been quietly unwrapping for nearly three years now. With the first pass nearing its end and having undergone dramatic shifts in design as a result of the recent turbulence in my life, I feel for the first time as if I'm on the verge of creating something truly substantial and representative of myself. With the coming spring it is my goal to be satisfied with one-hundred thousand perfect words.
During my stint in Los Angeles I took a few online classes at UCLA to sharpen my tool set. The true benefits of those classes stemmed from the student interaction and the constructive critiques we provided one another. Seeing those same qualities on this website, I hope to find a groove here and share in the process with other writers (without having to empty my bank account).
See you on the forums!
Cheyenne
