Intro

[lourdes]

Hi,

Name: Stephen Lourdes
Location: Cork, Ireland
I write: for screen
Genres: Neo-noir
Inspirations: Stephen King (who else?), James Elroy, Hunter S. Thompson and Madonna. Oh, you may be wondering about Madonna. Well, I grew up with her music and anyone who can get from eating out of garbage cans in the back alleys of NYC to where she got to within a few short years, is plenty of inspiration in my book.
Currently working on: Teen Cuisine - about a bunch of vampires who steal teenagers for food. No, only kidding, it's actually a real-life TV teenage cooking programme, a favor for a friend.
Other interests: Art, CGi, editing. I spent the last twenty years in visual arts before moving to writing full time but still keep my hand in creating visual images.
Anything else? I like the idea of creating challenges for the writers in the community. That's cool, challenges are fun and can lead to all sorts of things. I would like to thank jeeps for making the community and thanks for the invite, lest I may not have found the community (sometimes I can be slack at searching).
I used to be an LJ-er, early adopter, and now feel real guilty for reason unknown as this is my first post in a community in god-knows how many years. I don't do LJ anymore, I left when the ads came along with Brad Fitz's departure from the scene.

hey, i would watch that vampire show. ;)

& you are quite welcome! my pleasure. challenges are a definite future goal. most of the fiction i've written has been the result of writing challenges, so i am a believer in their usefulness.

i was also an early lj-er, and i didn't jump ship as early as you did, but as soon as dw came along i made it my new home. much friendlier to us creative types!

Thanks jeeps. I would watch the vampire show too! I enjoy anything vampire-related in books and film, moreso film.

I left when the ads came along with Brad Fitz's departure from the scene.

Ah, that was such a long time ago! Anyway, welcome, welcome.

Thank you. I truly loved LJ 'back in the day', it was fun, met some *great* people and writers too - not that writers aren't people :P

I was too young to really appreciate LJ when I first got one, my early years were of the "blogging about my teenage anguish" variety. but I can dig it, part of what I love about being involved with Dreamwidth is the feeling of building up a community.

(writers are people? "You ever eat with one?" ;D)
