About Wendy
Wendy Aron has been a neurotic depressive ever since kindergarten on Long Island, New York, when she refused to play Duck, Duck, Goose because she didn't want a stranger's hand touching her head. In first grade, Wendy received a gold star for being the most conscientious student in her class. Actually, her elementary school teacher was just being kind; Wendy took conscientiousness to heretofore unknown heights. From there it was only a short hop and a skip to neuroticism and depression.
When Wendy reached middle school, she failed to find a clique and instead retreated into her own private world of make believe. It seemed that every girl in junior high was dating someone, except for her. So as not to look incredibly hopeless, Wendy cut the picture of a handsome young boy out of a magazine, stuck it in a picture locket and told everyone that he was her boyfriend from California. Most of her classmates bought it and Wendy's career as a storyteller was launched.
After she attended college at Brandeis University, Adelphi University and South Oaks Psychiatric Hospital(where she graduated with honors), Wendy headed west for a graduate screenwriting program at the University of California at Los Angeles, soon after selling a script to the hit sitcom "Family Ties." More recently Wendy has written several comic plays which have been produced on way-off Broadway stages throughout New York City. She has also written for newspapers and magazines nationwide, including The New York Times and Newsweek, and has garnered an award from the Society of Professional Journalists for outstanding humor writing.
Wendy is married and lives with a very patient husband and three neurotic cats on Long Island, New York.
