Writing Examples:

1.Here is a link to a writing sample I wrote in which I was being interviewed for a blogging website and highlighted on their page: https://blog.bynmix.com/bynmix-spotlight-meet-emma-gebhardt/

2.Of all my years of pondering, wondering, singing, longing. Of all my years of sitting, being, still as a pill. I realize it is my time. MY time. To get out there and be who I am and see. See with the blinded eyes that make up the circumference of my head, the circumference of my being, the circumference of me. With the sadness I have faced and the trauma that faces me, I seek a vision of outer space, such as a beach, a sea, a body of water. A mountain, a tree, a row of land. I want to see the world. Honestly, I want to BE the world. But for now, I will be WITH the world. Explore it. Love it, nurture it. Within my travels that I’ve experienced I will seek to it that they wont even compare to my next travels, and same goes for the ones after those travels…oh; and the travels after that. With the world being so uncertain, and my future a huge dismay, the one thing I DO have right now is the power to wander. With my mind. The mind is a powerful thing, it can take you to brilliant places. The moon, Australia, garden of purple flowers, anywhere you want to go…best part…it’s free. I need to tell myself, and tell you, not to worry so much; because guess what, growth emits at the length of the seeds where the planting of the stars above your head shine…shine on, travel on, and just…be.

Here is an example of some questions I wrote for a feature I am writing on an influencer/actress for Pink 32 mag:

“As an influencer, YouTuber, and actress, beauty must be a very important part of your everyday life. You were quoted saying that your philosophy is that, beauty is a lifestyle. How does beauty fit into your everyday life and how do you use it as a positive way to make your life even better?”

“Your blogs have a focus on relationships, what would you say is your best advice for a first date? Outfit? Hairstyle? What would you talk about?

“On your ‘Work out with me’ vlog you share your work-out routine…what do you usually eat before and after work-outs to maintain that healthy, fun, and vibrant lifestyle that you promote?

“Lets jump into to the real Teala Dunn. What is something that makes your heart soar? What is something that just absolutely makes you weak in the knees? Something that makes you want to cry with tears of joy every time you think about it?”

“I hear you went on a trip to Hawaii! What was your favorite part of the trip? And what is your ultimate boss babe must-have packing guide…something that is a must to bring to Hawaii!?

“You are a huge advocate for animals and you are currently speaking up against dissection…why is this so important to you, and why should it be important to everyone else?

“What do you think is the one thing that makes you most…you? And with that, why does that one thing drive you to be more and more successful as an actress?”
