All About Lee

Nate · 2004-12-16T01:17:02Z

Last edited: September 10, 2007 For fourteen years of my life, I went by the name Lee; it's my middle name. I decided to start going by my first name (Nathaniel) in high-school since I was getting bored with the name. However, I now kind of wish I still went by Lee. Of course, many people do call me by that name, but the majority of those who've only known me since high-school call me Nate. It's actually weird sometimes; I still think of myself as Lee and sometimes I don't know who to introduce to others: Nate or Lee? With regards to personal details, I was born in Idaho Falls, Idaho and my dad was in the Navy at the time (yes, there is a Navy base in landlocked Idaho). Only lived there for six weeks, so, needless to say, I don't remember anything about it. But it is the potato state and my favorite foods all involve potatoes. After Idaho, I lived in Virginia Beach, Virginia for five years and then in Connecticut for three years. Ever since I was eight, I've lived in Maryland in the Washington DC area (the good side of it). Right now, I'm going to law school at Catholic University in Northeast Washington, D.C. I'm just in my first year so I am still not quite sure what I will concentrate in, although my hope is to join Navy JAG. For college I went to St. Mary's College of Maryland (public) and earned my Bachelor's degree in Economics along with a minor of Math. Back then, I actually wanted to be a sixth grade math teacher, and I still do. I figure, though, that I can be a teacher at any time in my life. But if I want to do something else, then I should do it now As for other details about me; I like reading, writing, running, and swimming. I get most of my ideas while running and try to do at least 15 miles a week; I find that it's pretty relaxing (afterwards, not during) and relieves a lot of stress. Plus, it keeps me in shape at a time in my life when that's increasingly hard to do. For instance, most of my friends from college are gaining those pot bellies now, and we're only 24. Anything else? My favorite color is blue, my favorite food are french fries (spaghetti is a close second), my favorite genre is science-fiction, and my favorite TV show is Battlestar Galactica. However, the question I get asked me is "Why did you start YWS?" I often have that same question myself! But what it boils down to is I hated how all the young writers web sites back in 2004 were in the process of dying. I tried to bring back one from the dead, but the admin ignored my e-mails and so I started up my own. I just remember how much writing clubs helped me back in high-school, and I want to make sure others have that same opportunity. Of course, there are times where I wish I never started YWS, but for the most part, I love running this site.

Well met, Sir Nathanial! (My brother's name is Nathan, ha.)

As you can see, I'm a devoted fan of anything Dark Ages: knights and dragons; ecnchantments and damsels. (Haven't rescued any yet. )

I hope eventually to learn Old or Middle English; it's not the the "Thee and Thou" you read in most stories. That's King James English.

I get most of my ideas when I'm running too! I have something in common with Nate(Lee)! I feel so important. Haha. I am agreed that running feels much better once you are done than when you are running. I run at least 35 miles a week though. *gasp* I know. I run to much, haha. Anyways, you rock Nate(Lee).

The simple truth is that authors like making people squirm. If this weren't the case, all novels would be filled completely with cute bunnies having birthday parties.
