Hey Folks

Actually it's funny since I've actually been drifting in and out of these messageboards for at least a month.. but realized it would be rather impolite to walk in and out of a house as a stray cat! So long and often, too! I'm a native Californian flown north for a spiritual/literary hideout and retreat in the mountains. In addition, this is a great opportunity to give extra thought to my growing hair. What a wonderful site you have here, and I'm glad to have found it. A treasure box, it is.

hair length: about mid-back
hair type: black, straight, and typically Asian, coarse but not as coarse as some Asian hair and medium thick. Curls really easily, especially wet bunning.
products: ooh, advertising time... Neutrogena s/c (the kind from the Doubletree.. I'll admit to not actually spending on s/c in over a year.) coconut oil 76 degrees.
accessories: lots of scrunchies, how incredibly boring. I haven't quite learned how to use hair sticks yet. mostly because I'm afraid to poke somebody's eye out.

To write or not to write.. that shouldn't be the question.

Welcome Anais, thank you for the compliments on the site!  Are you an Anais Nin fan?

Your hair sounds gorgeous, and how lucky you are to be able to curl it easily.  I was always under the impression that it was difficult for Asian hair to take a curl!

Hi Rapunzel,
I do share Anais' lifelong craze for writing and look like her more than any other dead famous person. Despite reading every one of her Dostoevsky critiques, I have to admit to not having read her famous diaries. It's more like a joint Anais-Henry devotion, reading their letters more than their individual work.

Thank you!! but I'm probably more surprised than you are. You're right; most Asians do have curl-resistant hair... but like some say, "it's the American air" or "it's something in the water" that makes mine so different. The world may never know.

Hi Anais,
I read your post and I am wondering what it is that you write.

Hello Julie/Giddalti,

Thank you for asking :) I write humor, philosophical theory, sketches, sitcom scripts, and all their resulting combinations... (especially philosophical humor and humorous sketches) e.g. what life would be like with penguins as currency, shoe-shopping for philosophers, weddings from h-ll, and my new sitcom!! (my preteen cousin named it "Pathetic Loser Homie" (I'll be peddling this to the ABC network in a couple years) (can you tell I'm a dreamer?)

Lovely to meet you
Welcome to Longlocks

Hi Anais,
If you're a dreamer, so am I. I have written one adolescent novel, and now I'm starting an adult novel. I mainly have a head full of kids' books, but this adult one was just bursting to come out. I hope the very best for your career. Maybe in a few years, we will both be celebrated writers!
Dreamily yours,
Julie

Thanks Giddalti,
Your ideas sound wonderful... I've always had crazy ideas for children's books too, but the results always turned out too technical. Best of luck to you and your literature and hope to see you around the forum :)

...just reading through old threads again, and this one caught my eye.  Wow, are you really working on a sitcom to pitch to a major network?  What a cool and fantastic goal!  Do you still have this one in the works?

My thoughts on dreamers:  To dream is to fantisize is to motivate is to achieve is to be happy.  How could one ever be happy without dreams?
