Hello to you as well, Gerda. Is it okay if I call you Gerda? I know some people in online communities prefer to be called by their usernames, so I always like to ask and not just assume. :)

Yes, I have a Bachelor's Degree in Theater and English Emphasizing in Creative Writing. Don't worry about not majoring in Creative Writing - a degree in it is merely a formality. A piece of paper saying a person has studied an art does not mean they have the talent or determination a life devoted to that art takes. Being a writer is 10% talent, 90% determination. :D If you are commited enough to being a writer, you will be!

Criminal Psychology is something I've always been interested in, but never thought I could possibly pursue. So, I spent four years studying things I knew I was good at, theatre and writing. Events of the last year showed me I needed to pursue Criminal Psychology, that I would feel haunted by "what if"s if I didn't. So, I've gathered my nerves and am now studying. Honestly, I'm not sure why I feel so compelled to do so when my dream is really to write and to act. Ha! But, I have always enjoyed learning everything I could about everything. Perhaps I'm meant to be a career student?

I read your profile and we seem to have much in common! We enjoy much of the same literature and film, so it seems. I too am looking forward to working with you on this wiki and to getting to know you! Thank you so much for your warm welcome!
