Hello all,
My name is Margaret Schaffer, but everyone calls me Maggie. Margaret is far too formal of a name for me. Technically I am twenty, but I behave like a two year old, on a good day. I truly live to laugh, thus the reason I am constantly using silly voices and making weird noises. Those who know me barley even flinch when the hear me babbling on in a Donald Duck voice, or making any number of other odd voices. I constantly forget that not everyone understands my estranged logic, and that not everyone understands that one of my odd gestures really means something. My friends who have come to terms with this, and I hope come to love it, are my family. I am rarely alone; I just don't function well by myself. Not to mention things are generally funnier when you have someone to laugh with.
As far as my history as a writer, I don't really have much of one. I've always enjoyed reading, partly because my mom took TV away when I was four, but I've never done any writing that wasn't assigned to me by a teacher. When I was much younger I tried and failed to keep a journal. Freshman year I got the idea into my head that I wanted to be a journalist, so I tried writing for my school paper. Upon actually trying to be a "journalist" I realized that it was not for me, not that I know what is for me. Writing editorials and reviews was really fun though. I’m amazingly opinionated, and it was fabulous to put those opinions down on paper.
I always found writing enjoyable, but I've really only written research papers. When I was doing my schedule this semester, I realized that I didn't have to take a writing class, so I decided maybe I should actually try doing some creative writing, to see if I like it. So far, I think this should be a fun experiment of kinds.
It’s rather intimidating being surrounded by so many people who seem to have been writing all their lives, but hey it’s best to learn from those who know what their doing, so I look forward to learning from all of you. My one promise is I will do my best to never judge any of you. Whatever whacky things you may say, do, and, write. I just ask that you try and do the same for me.
Peace and Love,
Maggie
