Brigid's Library

Brigid is a nineteen-year-old writer currently living in Chicago. She attends a Great Books school, thinks in pictures, and breathes words.

Memoirs-in-Progress

I've grown 40.5 inches during my lifetime, placing me at a whopping 5' tall. Most of that growing was done in the Midwest, from northern Wisconsin to Atlanta, Georgia, the top of the Michigan's mitten to the middle of an Indian reservation in South Dakota. I've been creating stories all my life; being an only child with ADD, it was a fairly easy way to stay amused.

The first stories were written down in a sweet town in northeast Iowa, and I still have them. I'm now aiming at getting at least two novel-length stories written this coming year. One of them will have my third-grade teacher's name on the dedication page. She introduced me to writing, indulged my perpetual reading any time but math class, and taught me that "Wow!" does not constitute a complete sentence.

I have some gigantic dreams. I want to finish all of my novels. But to do that, I need help. I'd love for you to read anything posted in the Library. And I'd love it if you'd post a comment or two after you finish a chapter or a story. You don't have to, but it'll get me writing more often and improving faster, and that's a win-win situation if ever there was one.

 

My candle burns at both ends
It will not last the night;
But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends -
It gives a lovely light.

Edna St. Vincent Millay
