And so it ends with me. I’m Rebekah and I too grew up in Winston-Salem and was always among those whining about its lack of activities to do and boring location. As I age and am readying myself to leave the nest I’m beginning to see all the hidden charm that escaped me as a child. I’m attending UNC Charlotte next year with almost nothing in mind for what I’d like to study. 

I myself have no talent in most of the arts but I’ve always been lucky enough to surround myself with beautiful people and even more beautiful artists. I’m introducing myself more and more to the art world every day and would love to discuss it with any of you! I enjoy yard sailing and making mosaics out of old china plates. My real true passion though is creating slam work and finding new artists. A few of my favorites are Buddy Wakefield, Anis Mojgani, Taylor Mali, Big Poppa E, Mike Rosen, Chad Anderson, Denice Frohman, Andrea Gibson was my first love and I could keep going. 

I was raised the youngest in a divorced household. I was a strange kid who was convinced my parents were aliens until age 8. My mother is a strong baptist woman and my father is a converted Jew to a Moravian. Flip flopping back and forth like a ping pong I’ve never had a strong sense of home in either house and instead am more partial to making homes within humans. I have two older siblings, one of whom is no longer living. My oldest sibling was Seth, a bright eyed boy who went off to war and never came back. My sister is Sarah Elizabeth and she’s shaped who I am completely without knowing it. I fit into the last role my family needed, the little redhead who didn’t talk and read too much. I grew up on oldies and westerns with my Dad, but my musical taste can be described as similar to the two lovelies above me but I also love rap. Classical, old school, new, underground, all of it. Its format is so similar to poetry that I think they are but extensions of each other. 

I hope to one day live in Argentina and have a big, big dog.

I too am from Winston-Salem North Carolina, personally it’s been a lovely place to grow up in because I’m deeply in love with trees and cheerwine! I will be starting my first year of college at the University of Greensboro in the fall to follow my dream of attaining a Masters Degree in Fine Arts! Some of my favorite artists are Manet, Bonheur, Sargent, Monet, Caillebotte, Cassatt, Degas, Renoir, Whistler, Gauguin, Seurat, Cezanne, Moreau, Rodin, Gaudi, Klimt, Matisse, Kandinsky, Frans Marc, Picasso, Duchamp, Max Ernst, Dali, Magritte, Klee, Miro, Chagall, Dekooning, Rothko, Chuck Close, Rauschenburg, Gehry, Kruger, Raphael, Anguissola, Altdorfer, El Greco, Bernini, Velazquez, Rembrandt, Vermeer, Hogarth, Vigee-Le Brun, Adam, Ingres, Delacroix, Turner, and Bierstadt.

I am the bright brown eyed middle child of a family of five and even though I spent most of my juvenile days desperately hoping for a bother I ended up with two giddy and incredibly lovable sisters. I was raised on Roald Dahl, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings and homegrown blueberries. I live with the certainty I have never cherished anything more than a good letter.

 My favorite artists in terms of the ear are The Head and The Heart, James Vincent McMarrow, Snow Mine, Kendrick Lammar, Mac De Marco, Dirty Projectors, Sylvan Esso, The White Stripes, Dave Matthews Band, Volcano Choir, Hundred Waters, Little Comets, The Shins and many many more. I can read music and tablature, play the ukulele, have an ever fading knowledge of the clarinet, and aspire to learn to play the piano someday.

 I am addicted to raspberries and the warmth of the sun’s rays on my skin. I can make a mean omelet and favor Stella Artois in terms of beer because I have a strong suspicion it is made with the tiniest bit of marijuana. I yearn to one day have an Australian Sheppard of my own and possibly a Mane Coon. I wouldn’t be the person I am today without my father, his diligence and boundless compassion inspire me to be a better person on a daily basis. My affinity for trees wills me to settle down in Asheville in the future but who knows where my passion for art and my desire to delve into differing cultures will lead me. All I can be sure of is that will never cease to love, paint, read, listen, and write.

The New When Writers Block

When Writers Block has fizzled out a bit... That's about to change though. We have two new "admins" on this blog. Julie and Rebekah will be joining me to read and post your submissions, answer your questions, and post their own ideas, events, and maybe even some writing of their own! Let's give them both a warm welcome and get this blog back up and running.  Write on,  Adam

Partners in Crime

I'd like to apologize to all of you for the lack of activity on When Writers Block recently. My life has been extremely busy... BUT I want this to work. So if any of you wonderful people are interested in helping me run When Writers Block, message me! I'm only going to have one other person help for now, so no guarantees. Just let me know if you'd like to be partners in crime :)  - Adam
