At last month's Heavenly Sinnners Writer's Guild, Dulcinea Hawksworth, Bryony's director of marketing Dulcinea Hawkswoth and group founder and coordinator, asked members to interview someone and write about them.
Kristina Skaggs, author of "Dead Serious," which is available for reading on the "Harold Masters" link at http://www.bryonyseries.com/, submitted the following last night after interviewing Dulcinea:
It takes a few tries to get into a head like Dulcinea Hawksworth. Outwardly, she’s bubbly and talkative. There are a few taps on her shoulder, a few mental hand-raises to grab her attention, finally she turns, and smiles, and then there she is—all yours.
On the path to becoming an author, there are many trails to get lost on. For Ms. Hawksworth, journalism came first, then communications, then public relations, all inspired by wanting to write commercial jingles. One can imagine young Dulci sitting fireside humming along to Oscar Myer with her brother, Doug. The two create sing-song lyrics about marshmallows, popsicles, and cat litter. They laugh, giggle and each creates a future based on how the word marshmallow rhymes with the words beef callow.
It wasn’t until college that Ms. Hawksworth came to her first conclusion. Writing has a purpose. And her second; free speech comes with a bad grade, if it’s not the kind of free speech your Writing 101 teacher expects. Feminism, as it turns out, is not an option. It is necessary. It is a right. It is every woman’s dream to be equally expressed as her male counterpart. Her teacher explained against Hawksworth belief that it should be a blend of one’s personal choices. Yes, feminism has a time and place, but does a woman need to stand on a soapbox each time a male opens the door for her? Ms. Hawksworth bonded with her mother’s own experience dealing with biased professors. She learned early that expressing a point of view is a privilege, not a right.
After college, Hawksworth dabbled in advertising, media, and impressing the illusive target market. Currently Duclinea Hawkswoth writes for the Patch.com/Minooka site and helps to realize the dreams of her fellow author friends as their public relations manager.
What Dulcinea wants: a perfect blend of public relations, marketing, and journalism. What about a published book? Not necessary. For Dulcinea and writing the more the merrier.
