About Gabrielle Cataldi
Hello! Welcome to my blog! My name is Gabrielle Cataldi. I have been writing since I was 13 years old and have amassed many poems, short stories and novels. Over the years I have found there are a lot of distractions to take away from the writing experience. I have a 15-year-old son, and over the years his endless need to play and ask questions made sitting down to a quiet time of writing nearly impossible. I home school my son, cook for the family, have a full-time job, college classes to complete and two dogs to take care of, so my life is a bit hectic. With these obstacles finishing a project or even a thought can seem impossible. In this blog I will go through some of the writing struggles I have gone through and what I did to overcome them. Along with these anecdotes I will chronicle my journey of getting my work published.
I have won awards in school for my creative writing. My most recent was from Atlantic Cape Community College for my creative non-fiction short story. I am currently going to Drexel University for my bachelor’s degree in communication. I am part of the Sigma Kappa Delta English honor society. I am an avid reader and write every day.
I was born in Philadelphia and moved to Hammonton, NJ when I was six years old. I lived on a ten-acre farm in which my father kept horses and goats. I attended riding lessons as soon as we moved and participated in competitions. I am not a very competitive person and I just liked to ride for pleasure. So shortly after, I gave up the competition route. I started writing in order to help me get through school. I had a hard time with the other kids bullying me and I felt horrible about most things about myself. Writing was my outlet.
What first was an outlet started to become something I enjoyed and found I was good at. It slowly became my passion and it has led me here to you! I hope I can help those that are struggling with writing, to know they are not alone and there are plenty of things to do to get out of the rut. I will also offer my opinion on pieces I have read, books and even movies. Just to give the blog a bit of diversity. I hope you come back to visit, I invite you to follow the blog as there will be new content to come. I have started up my podcast now as I am expanding my creativity and bringing more content to you. Enjoy!
