Hello all of my friends, family and subscribers! I clap and squeal like a little kid each and every time someone new follows my blog. I would love to get to know you better and introduce you to my other subscribers.
With that in mind, I would love it if you subscribers would “reply” to this note with some information about yourself. That can consist of what you like to write about and where/if you’ve been published. I’m interested in what you like to read, how many siblings you have or what color your hair is…well the content is up to you. Hint Hint: by adding the URL to your blog or website we will all be encouraged to visit you. Last but not least, don’t forget rule Eleventy-Five.
Rule Eleventy-Five~I know that writing is serious business to those who are serious about it. But let’s also remember to smile. Everyone go back and add one silly thing you like, or do, or think about ~ to your post here (since you can’t edit your remarks on wordpress, just comment/email/Facebook me and I’ll add it in for you). Me? I like to make up stupid numbers. Eleventy-Five. Fourty-Eleven. Seven and two cow patties. Now ya know.

My pseudonym is Ileandra Young (its the only name I’m known under in internet land) and since writing is the only thing I’ve kept doing since I was twelve, I kinda figured that its something I quite like doing. So I’ve kept doing it. Mostly novel length stories and there are two at the moment I’m pushing to get ready for publication (either self or through publishing houses… depends how my luck/planning takes me).
I write (high and urban) fantasy, horror (occasionally), comedy and erotica. The erotica needs a bit of a push, so while I’m on a break from the big projects I’ll also be looking into that. I do write it under another name though (my mum knows this name very well, so I can’t decide if I want to write ‘dirty things’ in a place she can find it!).
As well as all that I have a radio show that runs every Sunday evening, which is bit of a jumbled blend of requests, chatter, bad jokes and funny news stories. Its an internet show as well, so people all over the world can listen… if they like.
Okay… and for rule eleventy-five…
I’m quite partial to the number 12. As in quite obsessed with it. If someone asks me a question, if the answer is a number just reaction is to just scream 12! Kinda like someone hitting you in that spot on your knee where your leg kicks out. You can’t help it, you don’t control it, it just happens. Same thing. eg
Stranger: How old are you?
Me: 12!
Stranger: Um.. are you sure?
Me: Ah… no. Not really, actually.
Stranger: Can I see some ID please?
*shuffling*
Me: Here.
Stranger: This says you’re 27.

Eeerrr, I’m Dian, an English teacher who’s struggling to write better and better each day, as well as an independent blogger and a writer, although I haven’t really published anything lately.

You could check them at my blog here: http://www.abunchofnonsense.wordpress.com and go to the ‘Stories’ and ‘Random Stories’ page. 🙂
As for the eleventy-five… This would be surprising. Due to the number of English posts that I wrote, now I found difficulties in writing things (including stories) in Indonesian, my native language.

I have been agonising over what to write here and came up with my rule Eleventy-Five fact, but it was one of those just before sleep ideas and I’ve since forgotten. So, slightly less exciting than the lost original: I’m always writings lists of jobs to do, that get re-written and re-ordered, and re-written again, which is why it’s taken me weeks to get this posted.
I’ve been writing fiction for about ten years. Before that it was research reports and papers, which helped with use of language but not vocabulary. I buried my first novel attempt and then got into short stories for a while. I had a couple published and some short-listed, which was good and encouraging. After a bit of a break, due to boat fitting and huge amounts of DIY, I’m back to writing and finding it a bit up and down. I’m writing a novel length story and some days the words run like a tap (faucet) while others they seem frozen in the pipes. I blog about my progress (or lack thereof) at sarahannhall.wordpress.com

I started to enjoy writing in the 1st grade where my teacher had us write poems. I was very proud of my one “Autumn,” but don’t remember any of it. She had me enter some school contest where one kid in each grade got their writing “published.” The works were printed up with title pages, etc and bound in little brown hard-covered books. I was picked for my poem “Cats” (I think that’s what I called it). I will share it with you (from memory) now as the “silly thing.” Please remember I was about 6 when I wrote this (I loved punctuation).

The blog “style” I’m currently using is kind of clunky – so if you want to read more, or to pick and choose which stories you want to read from the variety of types, you’ll need to page back through the “older” writing posts – by clicking the “older” thingie.
If you have more serious interests, I also have a few political posts, and some econ posts, and some organic gardening stuff… well… look at the header for what else there is. I don’t post often as I’m kinda busy… but you’re welcome to comment (and maybe even enjoy or LEARN stuff.)
Hummmm…. about me personally…. hummm… well… ummmm…. I’m a bee keeper. We’ve had two hives (topbars) for two years and this year we are adding 15 more colonies – to bring the total up to 17. We are also introducing 5 Langstroth hives in addition to the 11 more topbars (+ 2 replacement topbars as the original two were not really well made and are deteriorating rapidly.) Towards the end of April we will be treking out to Cheyenne to pick up the girls. I’m looking forward to the trip back as I’ll be riding with around 45,000 girls. Whoo HOOO!!! ;-D
