Hola, I am Kate.

I'm 18 years old and live in a small, rather pathetic town in the Northeast. I just graduated from high school and will attend UMASS in the fall, studying journalism and film/media. My aspiration for life is to 1.) become the new Roger Ebert of movie critics and 2.) write one of those books that changes peoples lives, becomes a blockbuster movie and wins all those awards we all love to hate. As of right now, I am an intern at the Reminder Publications, which is a newspaper that caters to news in five districts. I've been friends with the same girl since we were in diapers, and I've been called neurotic more than once.

I also have the single best beta ever, who's name (on fictionpress) is midnight beauty. She's got some stories up on this site that deserves some attention. Go check her outtttt =)

I have a tendency to write girls as either bitchy and conniving, or incredibly smart, independent and with a fierce tongue. My favorite story that I've written is Our Room (closely followed by The Thin Line) and my all time favorite character to have written is Belle James, from Our Room. I would definitely say she's the most like me. I believe that love/hate relationships are the only way to go. There is a thin line between love and hate. Those couples seem to have the most passion and are the closest. Honestly, if you don't fight with your significant others, you don't have a relationship.

Anyway, check out some of my work!

Hopefully this works! Here is the link to find the character's picture from each story. I really hope this works!

Our Room

"At times the world can seem an unfriendly and sinister place. But believe us when we say there is much more good in it than bad. All you have to do is look hard enough. And what might seem to be a series of unfortunate events, may in fact, be the first steps of a journey." -- Violet, A Series of Unfortunate Events

"Well, my conclusion is: Hate is baggage. Life's too short to be pissed off all the time." -- Danny, American History X

"Evil is a point of view. God kills indiscriminately and so shall we. For no creatures under God are as we are, none so like him as ourselves." -- Lestat, Interview with the Vampire

"When you are young not much matters, when you find something you like that's all you got." -- Telly, Kids

"So... I do know what it's like, Augusten... to love somebody who doesn't deserve it." -- Natalie, Running with Scissors

"It happened. There's no avoiding it. No forgetting." -- Melinda, Speak

You know, I mean, I didn't do you any favours on that day, ok? I did a stupid, stupid thing. But it was only because I thought spoiling your day was better than ruining your life. Does that make any sense? " -- Dennis, Run Fatboy Run

"Yeah, um, I had an adrenaline rush. It's very common. You can Google it." -- Edward Cullen, Twilight (granted, even though it's in the script, Edward would NEVER say this. I still find it amusing purely on Rpattz delivery of the line. He did say it the way Edward would have said in the beginning of the book).

UPDATE (8/22/09): Hi everyone :) hopefully you've stayed with me, but I'd just like to tell everyone that I am currently working on a new story. I've only written a few chapters and they've all been beta'd by the amazing VelvetxKisses! I will start posting when I begin to get into more of a routine in writing. The story is planned up to chapter 21, and it looks like it'll be another long one like Our Room. I've also started a twitter, so if you guys wanna follow me, here's the link :D http://twitter.com/uhohxkate
