: About Me

Soon after I learned how to read, I wrote a short story about flowers that came to life when people weren't looking. As riveting as those four pages were, I knew I had many more ideas to share with the world (or at least to share with my mother who begged me to write more). Now here I am 20 years later and I still haven't gotten my fingers to shut up.

I'm a freelance writer, the owner of a writing company called The Brighter Writer, and the author of a book called Freedom's Rein. I love every form of the written word and embrace the chance to write about familiar and unfamiliar subjects whenever I have the opportunity to do so. I have written about subjects ranging from identity theft to living in Croatia to getting over bad relationships. No matter how random a topic may seem, I love learning about new things and sharing them with others.

Aside from writing, I pride myself on my education. I earned my B.A. in English - Professional Writing from the New York Institute of Technology in 2006 and I'm working towards my Master's degree to further my studies. An unsightly A- forced me to graduate from my undergraduate program with a 3.94 GPA, but I learned my lesson and have maintained a 4.0 GPA thus far in graduate school.

Of course, there is more to my life than reading, learning, and writing. Like every other person, I love spending time with my family, my husband, my friends, and of course, my dog. I enjoy playing video games, playing cards, and participating in other kinds of competitions that don't require me to stumble over my two left feet. Finally, I love to talk because sometimes my fingers just get tired of typing.

My passion is ...

Making other people happy.

I know too much about ...

Fairy tales and mosquitoes.

My parents always told me ...

To always follow my dreams as long as my dreams didn't involve fire.

My childhood ambition ...

I wanted to become an author who wrote books faster than my favorite authors who made me wait for the next installment of a series.

My favorite memory ...

I always smile when I remember my supreme geeky happiness of attending my first Buffy convention.

Why I write ...

I write because it would be a travesty not to.

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

I'm listening to Nick @ Nite play in the background.

My first job ...

I worked as a 'showgirl' at a bakery.

My best moment ...

Few things will ever excite me more than winning my college's Most Outstanding Graduate award.

My inspiration ...

My parents, my husband, my dog, and everything else in my everyday life that helps me write what I know.

Entertainment > Movie Analysis Portrayals of the devil in "The Devil's Advocate"

1 of 1

Satan. Lucifer. The Fallen Angel. The Devil takes on many names, and in "The Devil’s Advocate" he takes on just as many personas. With the agenda of Satan, the wickedness of Lucifer, and the heavenly animosity of the Fallen Angel, this complex version of the devil combines classic lore with a modern spin, giving viewers one of the most detailed portrayals of the devil to date. Unlike Biblical and medieval descriptions, the devil is not a red or blue creature with horns and a tail. He looks as ordinary as any man and chooses the form of John Milton (Al Pacino), a successful lawyer at ...
