About Me — Lynn L. Alexander

Eclectic writer

I am a freelance writer/editor and have an eclectic writing background. I was a contributing writer in the internationally published IDG book, Internet Secrets, by internet guru John Levine; this was the third book in the series of the Internet for Dummies books. I have turned transcripts of lectures into textbooks, written feature articles for a local newspaper, and even wrote a funny greeting card that was published. Greeting card writing for freelancers is very competitive; I think now most are written in-house. I must have submitted 200 ideas and finally, one was published. It was funny because my mother read all of my submissions and when this one particular idea was chosen for publication, she said, “This isn’t even the best one you have written.”

God, how I loved my mother. She was the most beautiful person, inside and out. She passed away almost five years ago and I miss her every single day. We laughed so much together and were best friends.

I have a bachelor’s degree in English, and many moons ago I was the editor of my college newspaper. I have a variety of writing interests, including humor, health, grief, personal essays, and entertainment.

I am an almost two-year ovarian cancer survivor and I am now living a new normal, whether I like it or not.

Writing again has brought me so much joy and I hope to attract more than the four followers I currently have. I hope to inform, bring joy or make you smile.

PS: I forgot to mention that I have the nicest, sweetest and most generous brother in the world.
