Bio:

Outside of writing? Oh gosh... Um. Well, writing's pretty much the only thing I'm particularly good at. I do some graphic design on the side, and I'm actually working on my Associate's Degree in Visual Communications. I enjoy watching movies, I adore reading, and I have a special love for music. I'm particularly odd in the sense that my tastes span a very specific yet wide range (my selection of favorite songs includes many things from showtunes to instrumental to old videogame soundtracks to movie soundtracks to 80s to pop rock). I've lived my whole life in the country, and I dream of one day living in NYC. I've been to Chicago twice, and I absolutely love it. My favorite stage show is Phantom of the Opera. I actually desire to see Love Never Dies, believe it or not. I breezed through five of Terry Goodkind's Sword of Truth novels in less than five months (they are not short books). By the way, my writing is kinda similar to his, if you wanted a comparison. I am the oldest of seven children. We have one dog, three cats, and two hermit crabs. My brother used to be an avid fanficcer as well, but he's since moved on to other, more boring hobbies. I own a set of D&D dice (I played for a short while). And yes, I am female. One of my favorite books ever is The Silmarillion. Neil Patrick Harris' singing holds a very special place in my heart. My favorite graphic novel is Batman: Hush. I am in love with Newsies. I swear Spot Conlon shows up in my dreams every night. My favorite newsies are actually Racetrack and Skittery. I wish I could sing like Max Casella. I have appeared in 15 stage shows in the past five years, and I wish I could continue to act, but my stupid job has been getting in the way during this latest show, so sadly it's looking like I'm gonna have to stop. I haven't actually told anyone that yet, though, because lately my real-life friends have been distant. I guess my obsessive nature has finally gotten on their nerves. At any rate, I'm much better at making friends online. I love socializing with people on the internet, because I feel like I can be more myself than I can in person. My goal in writing is to connect with my audience, to make them feel. Thus my stories will be rife with drama, angst, romance, violence, and the like - anything that pulls at your strings and stirs up emotions inside you. I recently turned 21. I'm much less verbose in person, despite my impressive vocabulary. I secretly want to marry Michael Goorjian. There, I think that's everything you could ever possibly want to know about me...
