Mistina Bates, Authoress

At the tender age of eight, I bought my first diary from Scholastic. This small book had a purple cover with white hearts, and it included a section to record my current likes, dislikes, hopes, ambitions, etc. Today, I can only recall three answers, and one of the questions may be a figment of my imagination.

• What is your favorite color? red

• What is your favorite cartoon?* Scooby-Doo

• What do you want to be when you grow up? an authoress

Many years have passed since my younger self answered in her best penmanship, but not much has changed. I still like red, although my color preferences vary depending on the situation and application. Scooby-Doo still rocks, and if you haven’t seen Be Cool, Scooby-Doo, you should. Also, I still love writing. More than ever, in fact.

This site is the hub for all of my public writing projects. At the moment, we’re talking “very small rocks” indeed, but watch this space.
