I'm the writer and creator of the ultra famous exciting blog The Wilder Coast: http://www.thewildercoast.com. I eat Soulpancakes for dinner and I wish my last name was Samberg. That's about it! Hi!
I love to engage in serious conversations (I'm pretty sure that is why I joined Soul Pancake). Despite being a realist, I try to remain open minded. I will gladly discuss anything with anyone, as long as it is done in a mature/respectful way.
Author of BIG CATS: Stories. I Lead fiction workshops online at LitReactor.com and am currently working on a novel.
I'm an LA-based writer. I write poetry and short fiction for Housefire and Metazen. I write comedy articles for Funny not Slutty and Comedy Rants. I also write screenplays, which I realize really makes me stand out from everybody else in LA. The only music I can listen to while working is the album Some Girls by the Rolling Stones. I learned this when I was 14, and I don't want to mess with a good thing.
Earlier today I purchased soup from my work's cafeteria. I picked up a soup spoon and grinned. I love soup spoons.
Here are a few other simple pleasures that make me smile:
- Sporks.
- Cherry slurpee from 7-11 (or a Cherry Icee from anywhere).
- Lattes.
- Solving a crossword puzzle.
- Tomatoes + Basil fresh from the garden.
- Spontaneous, unsolicited expressions of love.
- Fresh baked bread.
- Farmer's Markets.
- Cool, foggy mornings.
-Dogs
I will never stop moving.....literally or figuratively. I am always on the road. I'll probably see you soon. I let you know where I am. Tell me if i'm next to anything kewl okay? okay.
Paula Cannoli is my nom de pen. Amelia Blanquera is the real one. For all of you aspiring writers, I'm proof that you can jump from the Collective, to the Brainlab, and now column, "Almost, Not Quite Right." My advice? Just show up, every day or whenever you can. Inspiration might not come right away. Wait for it. In the meantime, have a look around SP.
I suffer from quarter-life crisis and am battling against it to get my colorful life back.
