Dawn of a New Blog

I've made the move from Livejournal to Blogspot based on testimonials and research. No hard feelings LJ, I hope we can still be friends. Don't call me, I'll call you.

I'll reintroduce myself here and get off to a fresh start. I'm Kelly, a twenty something writer living in the beautiful city of Chicago. During the day I work with eighth graders and at night I work toward my degree in Graphic Design at Columbia College Chicago. Somewhere in-between I write. I've been working on a YA novel for a couple years.

Other fun facts:
I consider laughter to be a necessity. I place it right behind food, water and shelter.
I would work for Rye Triscuits or Brown Sugar Cinnamon Pop-Tarts.
I can call up a quote from Golden Girls for any situation.

I was fortunate enough to attend the SCBWI Summer Conference in Los Angeles this past weekend. I'm still processing all the information! I'll make my next post a recap of it.
