Salutations!
Hello!
My name is Millie.
I’m an Education major studying English and Writing arts at Rowan University. I’ve lived in the little town of Glassboro my entire life and I’m starting to get antsy. I have a twin sister (I’m 33 minutes older) who is a wonderful hair stylist, and a younger sister who lives in Spain. I am one of ten grandchildren in my family, and have been blessed to have my great-grandmother (98 years old!) around for my 22 years of life. My family is broken into West Virginians and New Yorkers and those two sides come together in Delaware every summer.
I’d never been big on writing until I started college. I’ve always struggled with grammar and putting my ideas down on paper in a nice coherent… “flowy” story or essay. I know that I want to write fiction, I’ve grown up with fiction woven in and out of my memories, childhood, and young adult life. I was raised on Disney movies (the classics), 60’s – early 90’s music, and books galore! You will find James Taylor, Elton John, Billy Joel, and Jim Croche along with Mumford & Sons and all Disney songs on my Pandora playlist. On my bookshelf is Harry Potter, Pride and Prejudice(along with many re-writes and play-offs), Peter Pan, and Lord of the Rings. I am an avid movie watcher and can re-watch a movie countless times. My cousin and I have a knack for memorizing scripts and movie scores and when we get together, it is like we’re your personal IMDB site.
The Fiction that has always been a part of my life is what makes me want to write. The stories that I can’t forget, the fairy-tales that have flown me to different worlds, the characters who have taught me life lessons, and the music that is always playing in my mind, make me want to create new worlds and ideas to join
that history. The escape that fiction has given me, I want to create… not only for myself, but for others. I can think of numerous times in school where
reading a Harry Potter book allowed me to escape from bullies; or when a song made me stop and just listen and forget about everything else. This is why
I want to write… not only write but write well!
