Where are you from, and where do you live, now? How did you get there? How do you describe your home, your fashion sense, or your taste in music? What's your story? Does your story include a defining moment, changing point, or moment of revelation? What do you do for a living? Do you like it? What makes you happy, and what do you do to feed your soul? Do you have any funny stories to share? Do you have a story that's difficult to tell and hear, but worth the telling and hearing?
These are just a few of the types of questions I love asking new people I meet. Sometimes it comes out in conversation, and other times it's more formal questioning, or a type of interview. This blog, this cyber home, will be the place for those types of essays and interviews; not just by me, but by you, my readers.
I would love to hear your answers to the above questions - all of them, or some of them. You story may be long, or short, or in-between, or your story may be in the form of an interview. Simply drop me a line at my gmail address, gypsydaughteressays, to query for an acceptable format or submit your autobiographical essay.
Well-written and revised essays will be posted, and I'll drop a note to let you know if your essay has been posted. I will not tolerate hateful, bigoted, intolerant, biased, or otherwise distasteful content, either within the essays or comments.
Please be sure your essay is written in a basic academic fashion: include an introduction with a thesis or prologue, body paragraphs with topic sentences, and a conclusion or epilogue with a statement of insight. Please include a JPEG image of your home or yourself with a statement expressing permission for me to use your text and image on my blog. Of course, your essay remains yours, and at any time, I'll be happy to remove your post if you want me to remove your post.
