In short

  • I am a college student, an English and Philosophy major.   I've been a writer since I was old enough to hold a pencil properly.   I believe that writing reveals more about the author than does any conversation with him or her.   When writing, I create a whole new world in which others may dance, play, and become themselves.    My subject matter varies drastically from idealistic societies, to fantasy magic, to realistic fiction.  I write poems, short stories, and novels.   The goal of each is to draw my reader in and take them away.  I'm not yet sure who I am, where I'm headed, or what I'll be when I “ grow up.”  I haven't even decided whether or not I want to grow up.  


    I have also been very, very busy lately so I haven't been on much.  I promise I'm still working, but as far as posting goes, don't expect anything new anytime soon.

  • I believe that it's each and every person's job to better the world and I plan to do that someday.   I plan to do something, to be something extraordinary.
