Rebecca Skerrett Nickname: Becki
Year: Junior
Major: Biochemistry Minor: Writing
Interests: Creative writing is my favorite, but I also have lots of experience with writing lab reports and scientific documents.
From: Rochester, NY (it’s Upstate.) Favorite Book: Steppenwolf by Herman Hesse
Recent Reads: My Name is Asher Lev and The Gift of Asher Lev by Chaim Potok
Favorite part of Baltimore: Little Italy! I love good Italian food and the way the street is lit up at night. Favorite Place: My favorite place to read or write is outside, because something about the sunlight and fresh air makes it more special. Words seem to flow better, and I get less stressed when I hit a block if I can look around and see trees. Writing Process: My writing process is a paper hog. I brainstorm, outline, detail outline, draft, revise, and repeat the last two steps about three or four times. I need to see everything in front of me before I make decisions, and I may change the same thing back and forth several times before deciding. Sometimes my paper comes out looking like a totally different animal. Places I’ve Been: I recently went to New Zealand, and it was the time of my life! I would go back in a heartbeat. Eventually I’d like to go back and spend some time exploring there and in Australia. |
