Self-important Ramble Page
Hello, my name is Kim and I'm a writing addict. *insert answering "Hi, Kim" here*
I started writing Third Watch Fan Fiction in 2002. I'm not sure when I went from a casual fluff
writer to addict. It's all a haze of tense shifting and misspelled words. Soon I was running
pens out of ink and killing trees by the dozens for notebook paper and there was no going
back for me.
My first attempt at original fiction was NaNoWriMo in 2004. I failed abysmally at reaching the
goal of 50,000 during the month of November, but after that my fan fiction days were
numbered. I was free-basing original characters and it felt too good to stop. I finally won the
challenge in 2008! The unedited version of the story is available as a PDF here and if I can
finish the epilogue and editing before June 1, 2009, there will be a printed paperback edition
available. More to come on that.
I went to Martinsville High School where I was kicked out of Honors English. I still can't
diagram a sentence or write an outline. I squeaked by my first attempt at English 101 at
Purdue University, but when that credit expired and I retook the class ten years later I argued
too much with the teacher to finish. So much for formal education.
Currently I'm a wannabe famous writer and blogger. My starving artist job is working for a steel
fabrication company as a bookkeeper (you think I was bad at English? You should see my math
grades! Woah!). It's a good job for a good company with health benefits and it keeps me in
laptops and electricity. I'll keep it.
