While I prepared my various prose chunks for "Write On The Sound" (WOTS) conference, I rewrote, not only my book summary for The Game, but my author bio as well. Actually, I ended up with several bios of various lengths, starting with my 100 word version, and gradually cutting down to the mere 30 words that would be read about me were I to win (ha, ha) the WOTS short story contest. Although I'm still not at all sure I have a final version, I have come a long way from my original effort. My fear now is that I've gone overly creative compared to the more prosaic one I posted earlier!
See what you think.
Sharman Badgett’s wondrous internal universe was more winsome in childhood than the “real” world. Adults’ inability to understand made her fear she was a changeling-child. Finding non-fiction dry and dead, she discovered life’s deepest truths in fiction, attempting her own first novel in sixth grade. As a mystic wanderer-adventurer, Badgett gathers examples of unexpected cultural assumptions. Then, as a therapist, researcher and instructor, she helps others broaden their experience of freedom, spirituality and life. Her writing explores misunderstandings, motivations, isolation and connectedness, and the yearning to love and be loved well. She enjoys living in the cool green Pacific Northwest.
