In short

  • Writing is...my life. I literally could not live without writing anymore. These fictional worlds are an incredible escape from reality, and become something of a second home. When I'm not writing, I like to draw and paint and play instruments (violin, guitar, ukulele, bass) and I'm a huge gamer. As for credentials, I won nearly every writing contest I entered in school, including one in seventh grade to get an artical published in SC Wildlife. I want to spend the rest of my life writing more than anything--I'm just afraid that if I don't get a head start now, it'll be harder for me to live off my writing later in life.

  • I'm not nearly famous; I'm just insane.
