Author has written 23 stories for Yu-Gi-Oh, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and Law and Order: SVU. Okay, I'm getting sick of my own old bio so here goes: I am an eighteen-year-old from Chicagoland (I always feel guilty saying Chicago, cuz I'm not technically from there). I've been told I write older than that, which is always flattering even though I'm not sure I believe it. :) In case of any more confusion, I was born and raised Catholic (Irish, like Elliot Stabler haha) and am a recent graduate of Jesuit education (the Jesuits rock. Some of my friends are very upset that girls cannot become Jesuits). I will be attending the University of Notre Dame in the fall. I think I've been "writing" all my life. By "writing" I mean making up stories in my head... when I was about eight I had a list, I drew little pictures, and that was about it. Then thanks to my Harry Potter obsession (aka, thanks to my third grade teacher), I discovered a little fanfic website called the Sugar Quill. I discovered that I, too, could write. I started putting pen to paper at age twelve and have not stopped since. I never did discover the secret of 87, but it's still my lucky number. Btw, the essay about all this got me into college... I want to write forever. However, I also want to major in biology... I couldn't sleep last night for trying to work out if I can double major and study abroad. I'll get back to you on that in about two years. I love my friends very much. Since they will never read this (one used to write but abandoned her ff account three years ago), I feel free to say that they are crazy, lazy, excitable and generally immature. Again, I love them very much. :D Some words of wisdom: Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass; it's about learning to dance in the rain. Never, ever judge. Ever. Live well. Laugh often. Love much. Always, Catherine | |||||||||
