Brandiwyn🎶Prep starts 10/1!

, also known as Michelle Tuesday, is a musician, educator and writer hailing from Columbus, Ohio.

La Bene Vita

I am a professional musician

, worship leader

, small business owner

, songwriter

, aspiring author

and freelance nonfiction writer

with a chemical engineering degree

.

But that's just my resume.

My profile of qualifications is only one of the ways in which I am unique. Here I chronicle my personal and professional goals and my efforts to achieve them. Occasionally I fail. Mostly, I take daily baby steps toward all my long-term goals. Much like the stories I pen, the songs I compose, and the businesses I run, I am always a work in progress.

Wow, that was actually pretty good! It goes to show how humanity has always been the same and God has His hand in everything... Or something

Thanks for sharing!

I'll be more impressed if Michelle can walk, chew gum, and whistle without swallowing the gum all at the same time.

Even better if she can whistle to the tune of Mozart or something.

Hmmm... if I ever finish that story I was writing which was my first attempt to write a novel, I will definitely ask you what you think of it.

Michelle, if you ever write your story, I wanna read it.

In response to "Story idea and my thoughts on Heaven and Hell"

It's certainly a thing to write about things you don't believe in. For instance, I reject the idea of the supernatural, but it's interesting enough that I've written fiction featuring it. But the problems with writing about "perfect" places are well-documented; it's tough to introduce conflict into a utopia, but it has been done. The enduring popularity of Star Trek is one example.

To address your specific situation: maybe perfection includes incorporating apparent imperfections in order to make things interesting. Like how Lucifer's fall, and Adam and Eve's for that matter, were actually all part of the Plan. After all, if God could be surprised, He wouldn't be omniscient, would He? And if Heaven's perfect, then doesn't that mean that the residents' supposed free will has been taken away, and isn't that a contradiction?

One superpower we have as humans is to imagine the impossible.

I know I'm saying all this as an outsider, so take it as you will. And you know me well enough, I hope, to know that I'm not saying any of this to be hurtful or obnoxious.

Oh, and Elycia Lee ☮, it's possible to be both a scientist and a musician. Brandiwyn🎶Prep starts 10/1! can walk and chew gum at the same time.

You are a scientist? I thought you are a musician.

Writing a story that involves God, heaven, hell, and angels are to me one of the most difficult stories to write especially if you want to be factually right.

I tried and fell flat on my face. Good luck. I really do like the idea of angels getting promoted... your arguments are valid too...

Hey, has anyone else had problems hearing my last two recordings posted at WordPress? I received feedback that my last good recording was "Eleanor Rigby", but that recordings since are hard to hear. I don't notice a difference, but that might be the software on my computer. The URL: http://michelletuesday.wordpress.com and thanks in advance for checking it out for me.

Work for fifteen minutes on "Poor Witch" [E] every day.
Fail. Again. Ooh! Ooh! But my friend Tony, the ex-art teacher who just got laid off by the stupid Reynoldsburg School District, gave me a drawing of Mildred that one of his students did, and it's BAD-ASS! I'll try to upload a picture. He asked me for some characters awhile back, and I gave him writing snippets. Tony himself did an amazing drawing of Wisdom, my lead character from The Butterfly Stone and a peripheral character in Poor Witch. Then, he had his class draw Mildred, and this kid was going to throw away his sketch. I just can't even begin to describe its awesomeness. You have to see. And you shall. Soon. Muh-hahahahaha!

By the way, this drawing, which I'm in love with, actually shifts my own view of my character. I'll need to do some characterization in the story to make her match this drawing, because it flipping rocks.

Complete and edit "Poor Witch" [E] by 6/30/09.
In progress.
