Rose Russo
Rose Russo is a freelance journalist who blogs weekly at The Budding Rose (http://www.the-budding-rose.blogspot.com). From an early age she always knew she wanted to be a writer, and drove her parents crazy making them proofread all her short stories. At the age of 12 she attempted to re-write the screenplay of Titanic (who thought a tween could give James Cameron a run for his money?). While it wasn’t perfect and bore an uncanny resemblance to the original, it was a lot of fun to write.
After graduating from Southern Cross University with a Bachelor of Arts majoring in writing, she began her love affair with online media by following blogs. Rose is an office worker by day and blogger by night. She writes in her head at every given opportunity and loves to write about anything, for anyone, to debate everything.

Michael S says:
"A teacher at Geelong Grammar had criticised her for using words that were too long, which had left her confused and had made her doubt her ability to write essays. She became ''quite distressed'' when her English marks began to fall." I can sympathise.
