Sarah's Story

After getting kicked out of "BEST" alternative high school because I was 5 minutes late 3 times in one semester, I decided to skip high school and got my GED - scored in the top 2% - and went to Bellevue Community College where I got my first of 3 degrees. The other two are in Fashion Design and then I was invited on scholarship to the School at the Art Institute Museum in Chicago (not associated with Art Institutes Schools) for a BFA in Fiber Art. I also studied World Religions in depth, particularly Hinduism. In between schools I moved all over the place, including 2 years in Vancouver, Canada and London, England. I also lived in New Orleans for a short time. Letsee, I ran my own Evening and Bridal company for nearly a decade and also did Costume Design/Wardrobe for everything from local independent films/music videos to Cirque Du Soleil and Micheal Flatley. After some years of struggling with serious medical issues - I have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome of the Joint Type, which means that the collagen that forms my connective tissues is not made correctly and comes apart very easily leading to CONSTANT injuries and pain - I am now focused on building ANOTHER creative career out of my writing. I have had several short stories published and won a couple of awards....Expand for more
But I was always too shy to send out my novels until - inspired by the HUGE success of my cousin Danny Strong, screenwriter for many blockbusters and co-creator of Fox's record breaking "Empire" - I decided that given I've been writing since I was 12, my writing deserved to be seen. That is going well, with several major names in publishing/writing cheering me on. What else? Oh, never had kids because of fear of passing on my Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. But I do have multiple Godchildren, including my lifelong friend - and our classmate - Jessi Morey's eldest daughter, the beautiful Katelyn. She's all grown up. LOL. Gonna be a God-Grandmother before I know it. Umm, other than that all, I can't really think of much. Just living life, grateful for family and friends. Despite my constant injuries I am happy to be functional. Now that we're all over 40, I can say with hard-won authority: be thankful for what good health you have, do not take it for granted, take care of your body the best you can. Peace. Love. All that Hippie crap. Oh, and to everyone who was a jerk to me in school - which was MOST of you - I don't particularly care or bother to hold grudges, so if you like what you've read of who I am now and you think we'd get along as mature adults... say hi! :^)
