Letter to the Echelon: Hey, my name is Starr. Ive been an Echelon since 2001.The band had me at Welcome To The Universe. I began to write more poetry and had a dream of writing a novel someday. When This Is War album came out I listened to it and was very inspired. I had a dream that played out like a movie for 3 nights. I wrote my dream down in notebooks like a madwoman until I had in my hands a manuscript for a 100 page book that I called Realm Of Hope. I cared very much about the global warming issue at the time and the plight of the endangered animals. The story packs a moral on those issues to help take care of the Earth. If it wasnt for the music of my muses Thirty Seconds to MarsI would never have written it. So at age 53 in 2009 I held in my hand my own book. I made a successful Book Tour in Arkansas where I lived then. I remember Jareds words to follow and try and live your dreams no matter what and to work hard. So two years later I had another dream after listening to the entire album of This Is War and wrote the second book to the series Earth Uprising. I just got more involved in your activities for the band in the last 4 years. After a bout with Cervical Cancer and major surgery, I realized that I wanted to write more books. So two more books later, Realm Of Reality -my prize winning poetry and lyrics book and my Western Wild West News came about in 2012-2013. So I became also a Screen writer because of Jareds inspiration and motivation and the bands music. I wrote screenplays of my 3 books, a TV pilot and series called Peters Portal, and a TV Pilot and series called VAMPERGY. I sent my script to City Of Destiny to Jared Leto via Shannons email along with my lyrics. My dream is for Bart Cubbins to direct my film City Of Destiny, Jared Leto star, Katy Perry, Robert Plant, Trent Reznor and Florence Welsh to also star in my Rock Tale of Sci Fi Fantasy. Magic Realm Series I will probably never see my name on the big screen or see this dream come to life, but I just wanted to share it with all of you. I am different than you. I saw Times Talk with Jared Leto and he mentioned some things that hit home with me. I am a Savant Autistic. I knew exactly what Jared was saying about seeing and feeling music. I am the very same way. Sometimes I even see emotions from people I am talking to in the form of an aura. Yes, I do alot of things at once. Im a Polyhistor but I thrive on it and I never get bored unless a person is very boring. Then I try to cheer them up with positive thoughts. They call me the Echelon Angel because I help, watch over and do as much as I can for the family. If I see someone upset or down I always have an open ear. Im a great listener and many have taken my advice. If I have touched your life in any way my job has been done. So this incident with the hacking from the #vips was vicious and I also got threatening emails from anonymous senders. This scared me family. I took a long look at what I was doing and i realized that I was to the point of Paranoia. I was also very upset because I could not find a Houston Echelon who could give me an my friends a ride home from the upcoming MARS concert. The concert venue is 20 miles from my house and it is a long walk. I was also upset because there were no more than 3 Houston Echelon who wanted to meet me at lunch before the concert yet 21 of them wanted to meet at the gate to street team and meet me. There have been 3 times in my life where the Echelon let me down and left me behind and I feared this was happening again. The stress from the incident made me physically ill with the flu. It gave me the time to lie down, watch some tv I wanted to watch and begin writing my third novel in my series The Darkest Day. Before I knew it in two days rest I had completed 40 pages. It felt good to be off of the computer and have no stress of contests, nasty tweets or threatening emails. I reveled in the serenity of finding myself again. I came to the realization that I was still an Author despite problems with my publisher and not getting paid Royalties owed to me and a cancelled Book Signing Tour due to the fact I was not a best selling author. Well, I am proud of the 100 books that I have sold over the years. I dont write for money, I write to share my stories and show the world my creativity in hopes that my books will touch someone and maybe even make their life better. So I sat down at my computer this morning and re-entered my old world and it just didnt have that spark anymore for me. I found myself bored with it and decided to devote my time to once a week running the Echelympics and RTing #MTVHottest from other Echelon followers on my @EchelonAngel_ timeline. With the stress of my fathers slow recovery and the paranoia of the #vips, this is all that I can do at this time. I still need to take off a cople of days a week to continue writing The Darkest Day and this time it will be at least 200 pages because it is the end of the trilogy. I love to have a feeling of completion on my projects, but I will still be working my facebook pages and Starr Gazing Mag. So I am looking forward to the MARS concert 9/5 at The Woodlands and excited that my Echelon sisters Raquel Pottmeyer, Erin Nesbit and Carmine Fairchild will be joining me. Finally meeting my heroes after 13 years will be living my dreams. Yes, I will ask Jared if he ever read my script or my lyrics. he will probably say no that he didnt get them or something, but I will always have that dream and I will never give it up. There are many directors out there who may be interested in my projects. Im sorry if this letter is really long but I am a writer and we tend to get this way when we want to speak our minds. My point is this.. Because of all of the hacking that has been going on and the vicious verbal attacks on Echelon from the #vips. I feel that Billboard should stop the contest and let the Echelon win by default because we did not cheat and we were victims of a fan army that would stop at nothing to win. If you are an Echelon and you have been hacked in any way in the past 2 weeks-SPEAK UP like I did. You can go to billboard and click on Contact Us and there is a form you can fill out for feedback. Tell them you were hacked. Tell them your Twitter, Facebook, You Tube or Gmail was hacked. Tell them your tweets were altered with non-working links, tell them your fan made videos disappeared from your you tube channel or your special story. Most importantly dont be afraid to be an Echelon.Be proud that you are part of this incredible family. A family who stands for following your dreams, working hard, being honest, being creative, being intelligent and most of all striving to help others and all of us to live our dreams in our lifetime. Its like Jared said You only have one life lets make this the best year ever for the Echelon and know in our hearts that Thirty Seconds To Mars will NEVER FADE AWAY. Love and marshugs Starr
