About Lauren

Hello! I'm Lauren, and I've been around YWS for (so very nearly) seven years. I've formally studied creative writing in university for almost as long, and am almost finished with my Masters of Fine Arts in fiction writing so you might say I know my stuff (or, at least, I know how to act like I know my stuff).

Someday I hope to teach creative writing at the college level, but until then I'm happy to read and critique the work of my peers and young writers at places like YWS. I love to talk writing and will blabber on about anything remotely related until someone makes me stop.

My pronouns are she/her but I will happily respond to they/their.

Did you ever hear the Tragedy of Darth Plagueis the wise? I thought not. It's not a story the Jedi would tell you. It's a Sith legend. Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith, so powerful and so wise he could use the Force to influence the midichlorians to create life... He had such a knowledge of the dark side that he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying. The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. He became so powerful... the only thing he was afraid of was losing his power, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. It's ironic he could save others from death, but not himself.
