Not the Final Draft (See Below)

Storytelling fascinates me and for me, the mark of a really good fiction is believable dialogue. It is also important for the antagonist(s) and protagonist(s) to have a believable connection. My favorite author is Jane Austen and my second favorite is C.S. Lewis. College major, English (of course) and English Education with a minor in Psych. I want to shape young hearts and minds into readers and writers. Please follow your dreams. If you want to be a photojournalist in Timbucktoo, get the skills, the degree, the official paper, at least stringer status and a plane ticket. If you want to teach and cannot find a "real" job, teach at a private or religious or charter school. If you want to be a farmer's wife or a surburban mom or a pastor, do it.

My best advice for aspiring writers is this: writers write constantly on napkins, backs of notebooks, laptop, lined paper, whatever. Just write, ok.

Lastly, grammar only matters in the final draft.

I like cats. Enough personal detail. Go Write.
