Once upon a time there was a girl. She liked horses and
Shaun Cassidy and Gunne Sax dresses, like many of the other
girls her age. She had a big, loving family and, since their
dad was in the Navy, they moved around. A lot. She was shy,
though, and generally preferred a day spent in the company
of her Trixie Belden books to running around with the other
kids, whom she really didn't know very well anyway.
She grew up and she still preferred the company of books, so
she read, and she read some more, and she loved romantic
stories, and stories about dragons and young men on quests,
and stories by Jane and Daphne and Emily and Charlotte. But
this girl realized that seeing all different kinds of places
and all different kinds of people had become a part of who
she was, and so she studied languages and art from faraway
places. But she could be dramatic, and so she decided to
study all of that while living in India. And then she
studied in India again. For a long time. And she thought
that, when she grew up some more, she would be a fancy
professor and write linguistic papers and teach students
about art and do other fancy-professor things.
But first she moved to California, where she had never been,
because it seemed the place to move to start such a new and
fabulous life. And she got a job to pay the rent. She
discovered she still loved books that drew her in, and made
her cry, and kept her awake till she had to scrunch her
eyebrows to see the words clearly. And she realized too that
she much preferred those books to the ones that mostly just
taught her stuff and made her feel anxious that she wasn't
busy making grand statements in grand journals. And while
she was figuring all this out, she needed money, and so she
did what many of the other girls in California were doing
and she got a job doing Internet stuff.
And she met her hero, and they married, and they got some
pets and had some kids. But she still liked to go places in
her mind as she stared out the window while doing things
like washing bottles and burping babies, and so she started
writing a story. And you can imagine the rest.
Now that she's grown up, she likes to see movies and read
books, cut flowers from her garden, spend time with friends
and drink wine, and go snowboarding. Not all at the same
time of course. And she still loves stories about dragons,
but mostly she loves stories about love.
