0 Flashing a grin. Showing her pearly whites. Wendy Friz zelle laughs at some teasing from her close friends. Threo fourths of the way done with her book, she does not get dis- couraged easily. Photo by Suzanne Nel- son. Many people have dreamed of writing a book, but few have ever accomplished it. Wendy Frizzelle, one of these few, has. .NOS HL IDEA ight years ago, Wendy Frizzelle realized she had a talent for writ- ing. Wendy writes to escape from reality when things get tough. For example, after the death of her mother, Wendy spent weeks writ- ing poetry. She describes her sto- ries as just writing down day- dreams. She writes because she wants to make people think and to explain things to them. Wendy is currently working on a novel con- sisting of a nineteen year old girl living on her own in a beach house. Stacie Anderson, one of the few people that has seen her work, thinks Wendy has x unique way of bringing people into a story. Some of the problems Wendy has encountered are laziness and getting sidetracked. She'll get halfway done with a story or poem and put it aside for weeks some- times because she gets bored with it. At times she feels like she has to force ideas out of her head, al- though Tiffani Lofton, another friend, says she can't wait until she's done so I can read her book because the writing totally reflects Wendy. Albert Camus, who wrote The Stranger and The Plague, is Wendy's favorite author. Al- though he has a morbid sense of humor, she says, his represen- tations of human conflict are accu- rate. Wendy can express her feelings by writing on emotional and unrealistic topics. Sometimes she feels she would like to be fam- ous, but realizes that most well- known authors become famous after death. Although Wendy wants to study Creative Writing, she will probably end up major- ing in Business Communications and minoring in Creative Writing because she thinks that Business Communications is more practical and will provide a more steady in- come.
