About Me — Chaotically Lottie

Embracing the chaos of life, and living to write the tales

Hello there!

Welcome to my most recent attempt to try and write an introductory article. If past performance in this arena is an indication of future (or current) performance, then I apologise for an awkward read in advance. Alternatively, if practice makes perfect then we may be in some luck! Let’s find out which it is, shall we?

My name’s Lottie, and despite all my best efforts, life is often rather chaotic. Hence, Chaotically Lottie. I like to believe this is not indicative of the limitations to my creativity, however, I shall leave that to your (probably) better judgment.

I am a survivor of child abuse. At thirteen I ran away and went through a period of homelessness. At fourteen I was expelled from both school and the all-girls group home I was in after I was caught kissing a girl whilst in school uniform. At seventeen I managed to swing back into high school just long enough to get the paperwork to go to University, then promptly went off to study social work. All whilst racking up some significant first-hand experience of being a rather messy human being for more years than I would generally like to admit.

See? Chaos.
