Lynn White–Interview

by Suzanna and Writing: One word at a time
I generally write at home using the computer. I usually write a first draft fairly quickly, then I edit and edit over a period of days, weeks or months! I have a small notebook in my bag to scribble in if I get an idea while out.
I started writing in my teens and have written from time to time since then, but especially over the last 5 years.
I don’t really think about my audience, though it’s important that I have one. I would like my work to reach a wide range of people. I’m often surprised by who likes a particular poem.
All sorts of things inspire me to write—people, places, events memories…Sometimes ideas flood in, others not, but I can usually write to a prompt.
I love to be in the open air. I like gardening and wildlife. I love dancing and rock and blues music.
I think any aspiring writer has to find their own path. Creative writing groups help some by giving prompts and confidence. It’s important to read and learn from the writing that you like. Then have a go and try submitting the pieces you like best.
Check out Lynn’s work in the issue, Volume 3, Issue 1.

  Let’s Dance “I’ve been dancing in the rain,” you said. You didn’t need to tell me, I’d seen you in the distance doing your Gene Kelly thing and more than looking the part. Perhaps I should tell you to act your age but I’ve given up on that. And I won’t tell you to dress your age. You’ll never dress in old women’s clothes. And I’m glad about that. Orange and pink are grand and Gene Kelly would be lost in an envy of black and white regrets. So jump in and I’ll give you a lift to get you out of the rain. Or maybe I’ll park up and join you in a dance even though it’s raining and I’m not dressed for it. Yes, I think I will! https://visualverse.org/submissions/lets-dance/

  Getting Better Things can only get better, that’s what she always told her little sister. Things are getting better all the time even though it doesn’t feel that way. So eat it up! It’s important as Jane Eyre said, to keep in good health and not die. So eat it up. And save a little for the cat. https://thedrabble.wordpress.com/2022/01/12/getting-better/?fbclid=IwAR3hCtjd2q1CtdDOLr_RcCH2u-RtaPzjQSQ_ELWMN3kcpMaIxJRM_9u_z_o

A Fictional Account This story is fiction. Made up. Made up like a face. First the base, the foundation, then the shadows and highlights, the blushers and sparklers, the reds and the blues to add interest and shape. Then lines for emphasis. Black, thick night time black, outlining the fiction. So, there was a base for this fantasy. There was some foundation. Even a made up story has some links with reality. A spark from a dream, an inspiration from experience, mine, or yours,  or someone else’s. Something written, something sung. A word, a phrase, a line from someone’s life, their fantastic real life, or imaginings. becoming real in the telling, when the make up is removed and the secrets are revealed between the lines. http://www.lulu.com/…/true-…/paperback/product-23068717.html
