Donna Otter has been curious about how to say “You won’t believe what happened today!” ever since she started that first gold-keyed diary in 5th grade. (she’s now on #102). She grew up only 17 miles from Santa Monica, but to get here she had to move to Portland, Oregon (aka StoryTown) where she started listening to the Moth podcast and wrote in her journal, “I wonder if I could ever tell a Moth story?” Along with being a Moth regular, she’s read out of her teen diary for Mortifed, and told stories at 7 Deadly Sins and Pickathon.
