Heather Fowler
| Introduction | I write like a maniac in love with the craft. I am also intimately connected to the following list of traits and fixations: Scorpio, loyal, smart, sweet, sentimental, ruthless, hedonistic, spoiled, way too neurotic. Love to hear myself and others think. Love to hear rain. Love the soft glistening of things and the way a brain can be so sexy it hurts. I play more on MySpace than FaceBook since I host an active creative blog there where I regularly throw up writing challenges based on themes or concepts (poetry and fiction). To access my recent work or come play, please check out my myspace pages or my personal website. |

| Interests | Writing, painting, dreaming, acting, singing, music of multiple varieties, friends of long lasting, baubles a raven would love, my children, my home, fresh flowers, viewing art, dead Russian authors, live feminist authors, commentary with far-reaching implications, and anything else of the vaguely pleasurable nature. Oh, did I mention writing--I do that a lot. |
| Favorite Movies | Lord of the Rings, Dark City, The Lover, The Piano, Pleasantville, Minority Report, Labrynth, Moulin Rouge, Henry and June, Chasing Amy, Fight Club, Good Will Hunting, The Last Unicorn, The Matrix (the first one only), Delicatessan, Silence of the Lambs, The Bridges of Madison County (film only, book sucked), The Breakfast Club, Rear Window, Casablanca, etc. |

Love, love, love the voice of Lindsay Harper who I recently found on myspace. Check her out. Like country, blues, R&B, classical, hiphop, jazz, folk, trance, alternative--there's hardly a genre I don't listen too. |
| Favorite Books | Most that are canon. Lots that are new. Come on... I'm a lit freak / word junkie. Pick your poison and I probably can speak to it. Okay, sample top 5 (can easily rotate these later): 1. Orwell- 1984 2. Tolstoy-Anna Karenin 3. Nabokov--Pale Fire 4. Calvino--Invisible Cities 5. Borghes--Ficciones Other authors of interest are: Flannery O'Connor, Shakespeare, Eugene O'Neil, Tennesse Williams, Jeanette Winterson, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Lorrie Moore, Edgar Allen Poe, Edna St. Vincent Millay, and many, many more. :) |
