All About Lynn

Me in three words :

creative – ambitious – neurotic

The Good Stuff

I try to focus on positive things: friendship, nature, art. I believe that life is what you make it, and that we all have that power.

I love my Dad, who never complains, my Mom, who’s always smiling, my boyfriend, who constantly challenges himself, my best friend, who makes the best of every day, and my kitten, who was born just a little slow.

Painting is my solace. I never let a day go by without a cup of Yogi tea, and I try to follow the principles of Ayurveda. Look it up.

My Writing

My writing is sarcastic, ironic, and sometimes funny. I’m not sure where it will lead me, although the Village Voice always seemed a good fit. I love investigative reporting, and the idea that my work can touch the life of another person.

I’m graduating in May and the job hunt is in full swing. A position as a newspaper reporter seems ideal, although my resume has seen the HR department’s of a few websites, magazines, and even The Blue Man Group.

Eventually, I want an old farm, maybe in South Carolina, or anywhere the sun shines year round. I can see myself the editor of a local newspaper, where I know the names of everyone in town. Or an author, who spends her work week locked up in a room with a typewriter. And if I ever win the lottery, I’m creating my own magazine, hiring the amazing writers I am so lucky to know, and starting a revolution.

Only time will tell.
