Introducing Ionie Annette Burns

One of the things that I want to tackle this year that I have put off for a great number of years is the various original fiction projects I have cooking in my brain. Now to start off with the obvious, who is Ionie Annette Burns? They are me and I am them. Or whatever the Obi-Wan quote is. The long short of it is I use my whole government name for my dayjob and while it is in a creative industry and I could use it for this and I do generally speaking like my name I don't nessicarily want to mix the two. My dayjob is my dayjob and it's the thing I do that I hope to some day retire from (lol what is retirement?). Writing however is not something I want to ever retire from. The can take these words from my cold, stiff, dead corpse and even then I probably will have some more words for them. Why Ionie Annette Burns? Simple I took the names from the women who raised me and made a new one. Its familiar enough to me to call my own yet different enough from my own name to be distinctly not me. I've been playing with it for a couple of year now in secret to get use to and I have to say I really like it. What can you expect from this space? Well to start, short introductions to my writing projects, the characters I've created and the worlds I built. Nothing as specific as a whole story. But rather little bits to get my feet wet, to test to waters so to speak. Because I know myself, and my own mental health I won't make any promises yet of a schedule but with Offprints able to schedule post if nothing else I am endeavoring to always schedule whatever it is that I post for Wednesday because #WiPWedneday. Please look forward to them and welcome to this space.
