About the Writer

The Writer

Hi, I’m Christie Drozdowski. Someday my pen name is going to be Christianna Drozdova. Don’t steal it. I’m twenty four and live in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Western North Carolina.

The purpose of this writing blog is to keep me working on the skill I developed in college. I have posted various pieces and genres in hopes of receiving feedback from both my writing peers and mentors. Feel free to comment liberally.I would like to share with you something Lois Lowry, author of THE GIVER, wrote to me once when I emailed her for advice:

“I think young people like you who love to write are probably doing all the right things that will help you become a professional writer. The hardest thing is waiting…because writers need to experience a lot, to live life, before they are able to write with maturity and experience. So write, read, study, probably major in literature in college. Travel, observe, learn about all sorts of people, and experience life.”

She’s right, of course. So, my plan is to live.
