Hey, Absolute Write!

I'm Katie, I'm 19, and I've been writing for most of my life. I'm on Absolute Write because I think I really ought to find something to do with my spare time that has something to do with writing rather than just messing around online, and it's been a really long time since I had a writing community to call my own. I guess it just made sense!

I'm a fire science student from the PNW, but during the summer I'm a camp counselor, and in my spare time, I write a bunch. Most of my work has been realistic fiction/drama/thriller, but in my latest fiction podcast WIP, I'm dipping my toe into the low fantasy pool. I'm very much looking forward to getting some feedback from some more experienced members of the community.

Some other weird stuff about me: I can make really tiny origami. I'm an aspiring tea sommelier and I regularly drink around six to eight cups of tea a day. I had one single WIP that I worked on throughout middle school and high school. I have very long toes. My biological father was an anonymous donor. I own a pair of tie die overalls. I once met Macklemore and didn't say hello.

Nice to meet you all!

Welcome — this is a good place to talk about writing; I hope you enjoy it here. Fire science sounds fascinating (not to mention increasingly important)!

Hey Katie! great to have you with us. We have two things in common- I also used to love Origami, although I haven't done it in a while, and I also have long toes. When we were little one of my friends walked around with gloves on his feet to tease me and my brother haha. But at least we can pick things up without having to bend over! :roll:Welcome. Hope you enjoy your stay with us.

Regular Origami is hard enough for me! Kudos on going tiny with it. Welcome!
