Versatile.
Others say weird.
In truth, McClain's wacky and wonderful.
As a youth, she believed herself an
odd-ball, craved being like others. She even practiced writing in cliches
because her classmates did, and if they thought the phrases were cool, they had
to be.
Fortunately, that phase passed, and she
now celebrates her own diversity. She plays bassoon, creates stained glass,
enjoys high ropes, loves to run and, of course, she writes.
For thirty years she attempted to teach
teenagers the joys of the English language. Judging from the prevalence of
confusion with their, they're and there--not to mention your and you're and the
rest, she hasn't succeeded much. She's now on a quest to make magic with her
own words.
