Meredith Elaine Donaldson

I'm a writer and a seeker of all knowledge! I love being sarcastic and jovial. I get distracted by shiny objects. I love the sound of trees in the wind, and I'm a professional cloud watcher.

Why I love to write: Writing is entertainment to me. I write because I can't not write. The challenge of constructing stories is exhilarating, exhausting, but the final result is like standing on top of the biggest mountain. Writing and reading is the way I connect with others. I need that connection. When I was younger, it was especially crucial, because I didn't know how to socialize with my peers, but I was never lost, because I connected with the characters I wrote and read.

I suffer from character attachment. I have a hard time separating myself from the characters I read or watch. I get so emotionally involved with the trials they go through. I remember reading New Moon for the first time and After Edward left Bella, I cried and cried in my room, It was such an overwhelming rush of sadness that lasted for days. Same way with Grey's Anatomy. I don't think there is one episode that I haven't cried during.
