Most often, she writes about the nerd lifestyle, but she also specializes in blog posts and copy in the firearm industry, travel, and books and literature.<br \/>\nBlogging professionally was never the plan, even though her earliest (admittedly illicit) business attempts, beginning in middle school, involved charging her pre-teen peers a fee in exchange for writing a romantic short story involving the \u2018client\u2019 and her crush. After being reprimanded by the school board several times for selling these stories on school grounds, Kitty eventually gave up and started doing English essays for the high school students who rode her bus. Despite the surprisingly good income she made doing black-market writing in school, a career in writing didn\u2019t seem attainable, so she gave it up to pursue a \u201creal job.\u201d<br \/>\nIt quickly became apparent that Kitty was never cut out to work a \u201creal job,\u201d so she resumed writing in her early twenties. Now that she\u2019s in her late twenties (and still totally adorable), she makes her living working out of her house as a full-time blogger, and her debut fiction novel is scheduled for release in Spring of 2016.
