My Bio
Tread in solitude thy pathway,
Quiet heart and undismayed.
Thou shalt know things strange, mysterious,
Which to thee no voice has said.
-George Matheson
Alyssa was born in small town Milton, Florida, but life as a roving military kid soon mellowed her (unintelligibly strong) Southern accent. Wanderlust is in her blood, and she’s always waiting for the wind to change. Stories remain her constant. Alyssa received her bachelor’s in English/Creative Writing from Berry College and her master's in Creative Writing for Young People from Bath Spa University.

I got tagged by the lovely ~LauraHollingsworth (https://www.deviantart.com/laurahollingsworth). This is for my OC, May, who is the romantic interest/side character in my WIP, Popinjay. The story is loosely (looooosely) based off of Robin Hood, and May is in the Maid Marian role. (:iconlostie815: has also done a fanart piece for the story—here: http://fav.me/d470dvy .) So... Enjoy!
Rules:
1) Pick one of your FCs/OCs.
2) Fill in the questions/statements as if you were your FC/OC.
3) Tag 3 people at the end of the quiz.
1. What's your name?
May. As in, Lady May.
2. Do you know why you were named that?
May is a variant of Marian, I've been told. It's a nice

Finally made myself an ID. It was originally made for LJ, but works well here too.
Also wanted to say that my sister (the lostie half of us) has officially launched her webcomic. You can find her DA art here: LauraHollingsworth (https://www.deviantart.com/laurahollingsworth)
LauraHollingsworth (https://www.deviantart.com/laurahollingsworth)'s comic, The Silver Eye, follows the adventures of Enel Smith. He's a curious orphan whose life is turned upside-down after he meets a thief, Apen Shepherd. It's a great story, and the art keeps getting better.

*gasp* I'm following you on pinterest!! I saw you through Stori Tori's blog somehow, and your sister just found me through my 100 Cupboards art! 
it's a small world...
it's a small world...(This goes to show how often I check my own DA...) That is SO weird! A lot of people seem to be finding me on Pinterest lately...
I saw your profile and I think I'm following your blog! You're lostie815's sister, right? I really love all your writing ideas/books/(WIP's?); from what I read about them, they sound extremely awesome! 
(I also happen to be a fan of masks and mermaids and Venice and Robin Hood and faeries). I really hope you get published! 
Oh and thanks for the fav (that was what I originally was going to say but I got sidetracked)
