MORE EGJ FUN FACTS & PHOTOS

• Doodled endlessly in grade school and dreamed of becoming a Disney animation artist
• Got low marks in class for "not paying attention" and was labeled a "daydreamer" (a label she is still proud of to this day)
• Has a rare form of dyslexia (not just switching letters in words, but randomly seeing entire words backwards), which she says has been "an obstacle and a blessing" all her life. She credits dyslexia for making her a writer (ask her why sometime, it's an interesting story). It is also why she loves riddles and hates crossword puzzles.
