I'm working on my current novel and fiddling with some ideas for my next one. I'm currently focusing on my character development.

About me:
I write for a living. I don't make any money, yet. But if I couldn't write I'd surely die. I also love to read, and critique things. I'm generally a nice person, even if my writing is depressing. I've been known to write poetry, but am working on a novel. I love punctuation and perhaps use too much of it. In contrast, I dislike capitalization and am often too lazy to use any.
My claim to fame: #7 on my bucket list: Really publish something--like to the point of being able to find it in Barnes and Noble.

What I like to read:

Fiction: Action/Adventure, Coming of Age, Historical Fiction, Humor/Satire, Literary, Multicultural, Novella, Romance, Short Story, Teen, Women's Fiction, Young Adult/Juvenile

Non-Fiction: African-American, Art, Architechture & Photography, Inspiration, Memoir/Narrative Non-fiction, Psychology, Science, Women's Studies

Screenplay: Comedy, Documentary, Drama, Love/Romace, Musical

Poetry: Experimental, Narrative, Personal / Confessional, Romantic / Love
