Joianne Payne, who is a Digital Media Artist, a Published Author, a Poet, a Screenwriter, a Songwriter, and a licensed Teacher .
Joianne strives for balance in everything that she writes and is basically a wordsmith who tries to infuse education, motivation or inspiration into everything unless it's one of those crazy days where her alter ego grabs the pen. She usually has kind of a bipartisan penmanship where she will walk on the proverbial limb to emphasize a point while remaining objective and unbiased, with kind of a clinical approach. She makes up words and uses lots of alliteration and other fun writing tools, and she is both the master of the haiku, and the master of the metaphor!
Joianne is also a self-proclaimed Emotionologist, which is a term she coined to define one who specializes in presenting difficult or divisive subject matter, in creative ways, to help people walk through their darkness to get to their light. Her goal is to painlessly expand people's perspective, so they receive information differently, and stimulate ideas that challenge their outdated or limiting belief systems which she playfully calls their BS.
Joianne successfully tackles difficult and divisive subject matter with humor or in a manner that deescalates anger and defensiveness, and her ABA training as a behavior interventionist , gives her an edge unavailable to similar digital media artists. Joianne's performances, also often leave the crowd speechless and audience members regularly comment to Joianne that "you said exactly what I didn't know I was feeling.

I write because all of my life I have been two people. Outwardly I have been the good girl, legs crossed, proper articulation, honor society, follow the rules, reliable, trustworthy, safe Joy that wanted to change the world. Still does. This woman looks for beauty in the obscene and always sees the glass as half full no matter what was going on in her life. She chooses to only see a happy, running through the field in a light spring rain solution, even as the proverbial house is burning down. This Joy watches only comedies or videos of animals and giggling babies; or Nova, PBS, Food or Travel Network or television shows with characters named John or Mary. This is socially acceptable alternate universe Joy, kind of like a brown Barbie.
Then there is the stranger who shares my face and my body. She wears my clothes and knows all of my pin numbers but she is definitely not me because this woman is crazy! That woman lurks just beneath the surface of sane, like a viper hiding beneath a rock, ready to strike the next unsuspecting hand that reaches down to pick a flower. Unbalanced Joy writes songs with expletives and binge watches reality television shows that are devoid of substance, while eating pizza and ice cream even though she has a gluten and lactose allergy. Unlike socially acceptable Joy, this version embraces all things on the naughty list and pleasing both Joy's is the reason that I write.
Writing, for me, creates balance between my two mental hemispheres and affords me the luxury of exploring every undiscovered aspect of my personality. My pen safely releases raw emotion, too painful to verbalize, some of which I have suppressed since childhood. I think that most of us are two people fighting each other for dominance. There's that rational person who allows cars out onto the highway. Then there's the stranger who speeds up for no reason other than the fact that she doesn't want you to get in front of her. I believe that we are all both people to a greater or lesser degree, I'm just willing to expose my crazy to public scrutiny.
