all about ME :) Wednesday, September 27, 2006

Each of us at SoP got to choose our own avatars. Something we liked, something we'd want here to represent us, in lieu of actual photos of ourselves (how dull!)

This one was my choice, and my reasons for doing so really only became apparant during a conversation today with Jen. Jen said my writing is: lighter, more emotional with a very "nice" touch. Even when you're writing about Goblin ghosts.

And damned if she isn't right. Even when I'm writing about goblins, (or in this case, their ghosts) I just can't pull off a completely 'dark' feeling. I like humour with my suspense. I like those wry heroines who, in the midst of something truly horrific, have a flash of insight that leaves me laughing.

My poor avatar seems to be suffering the same fate. Isn't she cute? It's pretty hard to be dark, scary, kickass, and cute, all at once. I like to think, however, that she pulls it off.

Because if she can, then I can.
