Cynthia is always present at yeah write, even if she is not on the grid. She is supportive of every member of the yeah write community. She reads, she comments, and she votes.  Each week, there is at least one story that wows her and keeps her coming back. She enjoys the diverse perspectives and loves seeing what others can do with just their words.

What you may not know is that Cynthia works behind the scenes as well. If you’re a Twitter addict, then you have seen Cynthia’s handiwork. Whenever you see the yeah write leader boards on Thursday and the winners’ post tweets on Friday, give Cynthia a shout out as she is behind all that Twitter magic.

When Cynthia isn’t writing or tweeting, you can find her huddled over word puzzles, dabbling in photography, or Googling things.  Yes, it’s a thing:

“I just Googled ‘hobbies’ to see what other things I do that might be considered a hobby. I got excited when I saw ‘Knapping‘ until I realized they didn’t mean napping.”

Don’t worry, Cynthia.  I’d also much rather nap than knap.

Her reading is as versatile as her writing. She has an immense fondness for Stephen King even though she’s never actually read one of his novels. Apparently, Cynthia is a huge wimp when it comes to the horror genre.  It was his memoir entitled On Writing that stole her heart.

“I’m currently listening to the audio version. I had to push stop in chapter one because his description of having his ear drum punctured when he was a child was so graphic that I thought I was going to vomit. Once my stomach settled, I came back and haven’t stopped listening since. I love his style and his advice on writing is straight-forward. Damn him, I think I’m going to end up reading some of his novels. I swear, Mr. King, if I have nightmares…”

Cynthia, in case you decide to dive into King’s madness, I highly recommend Desperation.  It’s my personal favorite.  Fair warning though, I still have nightmares.

When she’s not listening to King, she devours every other book in sight.  At the moment, she is reading Faithless by Karin Slaughter, Fatal Voyage by Kathy Reichs, and When I Lay My Isaac Down by Carol Kent.

“I get antsy if I don’t have a book to read especially now that I’m slowly finding more opportunities to do so. Once my son became mobile, reading time diminished greatly. I cherish any free time that I now have for reading.”

Behind the scenes or on the grid, Cynthia is an integral part of the yeah write community.  I know I’m not the only one who looks forward to hearing more of her journey through life with her wonderful family.
