Teece Reeder's Blog: Random Ponderings - Posts Tagged "southern"

This is my first blog post in many years. I am unsure of where I am going with it but I suppose I should give you an introduction. Hey there, I am Teece Reeder. I am a Southern-born and raised writer who typically does most things in my life backward. I attribute this factor to my birth, I was born breech. My Mama always said I did everything in the fashion in which I entered the world, bottom first. I tend to write this way as well. I can’t write a book without a title first, and normally I can’t type a sentence without a clear idea of what the book cover will look like. I don’t do outlines, I allow my fingers to take me on the journey of words that spring from my brain. I have given outlines a try and instantly I felt like I was doing a last-minute book report for a Judy Blume book I had read in its entirety the night before in a panic.
Oh! That’s another thing about me, I do everything at the last minute. I like the feeling of working under pressure. If I take my time, nothing really comes out as I want it. If I have a looming deadline, I function at my best.
I like my coffee back, and soy sauce on my baked potato, and I am easily distracted by nature, hence the reason I don’t normally write outside. I quickly will leave my station and find myself all over creation following a lizard or a rogue bug and forgetting the world around me.
I love to read and I love to read about other authors. In doing so I have come to learn that most authors have quirks, and instantly I felt validated that I must be wearing sneakers to write. Not, slippers, not flops, I must have on sneakers, and normally socks to begin writing and leave them on in order to continue.
So here is a little about me! I love to blog and I can foresee this becoming a regular happening once again.
Thanks for reading!
Teece
