This is where the back cover-style blurb is supposed to go, yes?
How about just bulleted fun facts about me instead:
- Let’s start with basics: Adoring wife, sarcastic middle sister, loving daughter
- Lifetime Kansas resident and, surprisingly, I actually like my state
- Girl geek/nerd/scifi-fantasy hipster/whathaveyou. Specific fandoms of uber-love:
-
- Joss Whedon series like Firefly/Buffy/Angel
- Epic fantasy like Lord of the Rings and, recently, Game of Thrones
- Fun scifi like Doctor Who and SRS BZNZ scifi like Battlestar Galactica
- Nerdy comedies like Psych, Community and 30 Rock
- Inspired animation movies and TV series like Avatar: The Last Airbender (yes, I’m stoked for The Legend of Korra! ask me how!)
- The list goes on…
- Aspiring author of YA fantasy, specifically contemporary fantasy and not-so-much of the urban variety since I’m not terribly urban myself, although like most writers I don’t really limit my ideas to one sub-genre
- Creative writing major from K-State University (EMAW!) who takes her life into her hands by regularly cheering on KU basketball
- Admitted over-empathizer and total crier when it comes to moving films, TV and books
- Three authors I’d have a drink with at a pub: Jane Austen, Oscar Wilde and Mark Twain. I’d be so intimidated that I’d just nurse 12 beers while they were awesome.
- Friendly! Very friendly, in fact, so feel free to comment! Or connect with me on Twitter!
I think that’s a good start. Have a question for me? Superpower I’d most like to have? Biggest pet peeve? My main crush from back in my TeenBeat days? Ask below, and I’ll answer!
Hi Becca! I am one of the writers that came to the meet-up at the Jayhawker on Saturday. It was fun and I hope we do it again! My question for you is . . . do you ever do postings or tweets to help writers promote stuff? I’m competing in an online writing contest to benefit my local elementary school and I’m looking for help spreading the word. I can give you all the details if you’re interested. No worries if you’re not! And, regardless, it’s good to connect with you here.
Hi, Gwendolyn! I’d be more than happy to help promote. I don’t really have a huge blog following, but I’m definitely willing to share with those who do read!
Send me the details: rebecca dot ann dot weston at gmail dot com.
Thanks!! That is great! Details coming your way . . .
I’ve nominated you for the Versatile Blogger Award! Enjoy! http://valerierlawson.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=440&action=edit&message=6&postpost=v2
arg! i think i made a mistake on the link. (i was still in the edit page and didn’t realize it.) try this one: http://valerierlawson.wordpress.com/2012/05/10/walking-on-sunshine-and-ive-got-versatility-the-blog-awards/
Aw, yay! *huggles award* Now I have to think of interesting things to confess… And go catch up on your posts. I am so so behind.
Have you started sending queries yet?
yikes. yes i have. that’s almost as stressful as the cupid contests. so far no immediate rejections, but i’m still going to send out more soon.
Would gladly drink with the same three authors.
I’d like to know your crush from your TeenBeat days! My sister used to get that magazine…Hers was totally Rob Lowe (pre-nose job)
We have quite a lot in common – LOTR, Doctor Who (only up to and most definitely including the Tenth Doctor), and admitted over-empathizer and HUGE crier (at both happy and sad).
Woo! We DO have a lot in common! I think we shall get along splendidly!
TeenBeat crush: I was generally torn between Jonathan Taylor Thomas and Brad Renfro. So, basically, my favorite movie ever was Tom & Huck.
JTT! The Lion King, heck yeah. It was only this past year I learned he didn’t do the *singing* in that. Hahah… I’m slow.
Um…*points at self* Rowan Atkinson. Just discovered this yesterday. I might have you beat in pop-culture slowness.
The day I realized Rowan Atkinson did a voice in The Lion King was one of the happiest of my life.
We should be best friends. Seriously.
I’m totally down with this.
You’re a fan of Buffy AND GoT? Fangirling ensues.
Sounds like we’re on the same fandom page.
It would seems so, yes.
I actually still have my Sean Austin autographed postcard. You’re adorable. Hope you got some great traffic today from #Pitmad.
