Eeee introductory posts are scary. Butttt oh well.

Hi, I'm Brittany! I usually go by Kat online, though. I am 20 years old and a college student. I'm currently double majoring in Bible/Theology and Youth/Family Ministry.

Amid all the hectic business of college, I have accomplished two great feats! The first is getting engaged (woo!) and the second is. . .dun-dun-dun. . . completing my first novel. I'm working on editing the first draft now, and I'm terribly excited about it. It's the first of a series of epic fantasy novels -- I'm already my own biggest fangirl! (not of me, but of the book)

I enjoy food, writing, drawing, music, and am somewhere between "antisocial recluse" and "social butterfly". Mostly, I like to stay in and play WoW, which satisfies my craving for company AND my craving for solitude!

Cheers!

Hi there Kat, and welcome to the Cooler. Tonight's a great night for food, don't you agree? I've just eaten the entree and main course of our Christmas Eve dinner, now I'm waiting for the dessert...

Welcome!

How long is your first draft? Also, mmm...food. I'm looking forward to the prime rib I'll be eating tomorrow. Holidays do not treat my waistline very well at all.

Welcome to AW. Hope you enjoy your stay with us.
How do you like your popcorn?

If you go to the bottom of the page to the 'forum jump' you can scroll down and find all the areas of this place. After you post 50 posts you can use the SYW areas to get help there. The password for some of the areas is…..vista. A word to the wise, it would be a good idea to participate first in helping others before you think about posting your own work. After you have been around here for awhile, then post something of your own for help. Good luck.

Thank you for all the kind welcomes, guys and gals!

@JeffC -- when I finished, it was 60k. something tells me it will end up longer after editing. . .also, due to the College Diet, I get to come home over the holidays, pig out, and actually LOSE weight. aha.

@CactusWendy -- with as much butter and salt as possible!

@Jehhillenberg -- you go by Kat too?! copycat D:
