The Recipe for ME

They say, "little girls are mad of sugar and spice and everything nice." Well the recipe for ME is slightly more complected. In fact there are many variations based upon the occasion and the audience. Let's focus on the ingrediants that combine to create my persona as a composer, writer, and editor.

For Megan the Composer

  • One part explorer
  • One and a half parts researcher
  • Two parts dreamer
  • One part artist
  • A pinch of inspiration
For Megan the Writer

Take the recipe above and add:
  • One part reporter
  • One part matador
  • One part interpreter
  • A dash skeptic
  • Two parts juggling act
  • A splash of intuition
For Megan the Editor
Take the recipes above and add:
  • One part critic
  • One part cheerleader
  • One part analyst
  • Two parts teacher
Notice that all the recipes must build upon the ones before. That's because the three are connected and at times while writing I will need to draw upon the skills of my composing or editing self.
