This is One of Those Folks I've Been Hoping Would Talk to Me
Dear readers: I've a confession. Michy is the first CP I sent a request to for an interview. (That's why everyone is asked the 'when you're 50' question...because I'm new at this and didn't change it) So you can only imagine how thrilled I was when I saw that this awesome lady took the time to reply in the positive. She describes herself as a 'small city girl with a big city heart,' but we all know that she's a global player.Ladies and gentlemen-Michy:
DP: Who are you (by that tell me a little about
yourself including personal stats like age,
place of birth, etc...)
MD: I was born in a small town in West Texas known as San Angelo, in the very early 70s (which makes me somewhere in my late 30s), and have lived in Texas all my life. While growing up, we frequently returned every summer to the three dirty lakes in my birthplace and I still have family there to this day. Today, we live in another small town in the Permian Basin oil and gas area of the state. A small city girl with a big city heart, I lived in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area for a couple of years before I returned to small-town West Texas to raise my family where the cost of living is low and ice cream melts outside before you can even think of eating it.
Eventually though, my wandering big-city heart has plans to move to the state capitol, Austin, Texas, where I feel my writing and networking in the literary community will better be served, and I hope to open a small bookstore/coffee shop where artists and authors are showcased, along with all sorts of other creative art endeavors. Of course, I'm waiting for my college student daughter to finish school and my teen son to get old enough (and hopefully mature enough too if he survives his teen years!) before I make that move. My passion is to write; my dream is to help others fulfill their dreams. I think this creative arts center I want to pursue in the near future will bring both those things together in a very special way.
Comments
Michy has always been one of my favorite Content Producers. When I was writing regularly, I went to her for advice and she always took the time to honestly answer my questions and provide feedback. Well-written interview and kudos to you for taking the time to interview such a special person on AC!
I enjoyed reading this!
Michy comes across as a generous person, truly interested in taking the time to help others. Her comments were not rushed but instead were well thought out and gave the reader food for thought. I hope I am so lucky as to someday be able to call her a mentor, an AC friend, and a big help as I search for better ways to write, produce, get lots of page views, and along the way, help people myself.
I couldn't resist clicking the link in your poem. I'm glad I did :)
Michy has been a very great help to me too! I live in her area and hope to get to meet her someday. Good interview, Donald, and I enjoyed the lead-in piece too. I'll go back to it and comment.
That brings me to a concern. Anytime there's a link away from our articles, we have to rely on the reader to make it important enough to come back to read the rest of the article and make a comment.
Very clever Donald...you sly dog. :-) Michy is my kind of woman. A non-girly girl who knows how to decimate her opponents with well formed phrases and intelligent dialog. She also happens to be one of the most knowledgeable people I've met when it comes to the business of writing for the web. For those of you who are new to AC, take the time to get to know Michy. If you are willing to learn, she will help you in more ways than you can possibly imagine.
Great interview !
Intriguing questions. Thanks again Donald.
Great interview!
Donald, thank you for pointing us here to this interview again!:)
