Author has written 51 stories for Young Adult, Nature, Politics, Life, Horror, Sci-Fi, Love, Essay, General, General, Song, School, Romance, Friendship, Humor, Religion, and Family. Xerophyte, n. About Me: I write because I can't get away with being this honest in real life. I write for me, but I hope you enjoy it. I am a musician, and music is love in search of a word. I am terrible at making personal decisions. I am a bunch of compliments that I cannot accept. I am trying to figure out what it all means. I am not an optimist or a pessimist. I hope. I am eighteen and have no marketable skills. I am terrible at writing profile information that doesn't make me sound like the person I was. I am a very smug Mac user. I do not like One-Way signs; there is never only one way. I am, despite the odds, happy. News: For once, there's actually legitimate news. I was PM'd sometime around...well, last month (wow, I'm bad with this whole "updating" thing), and apparently I won some sort of contest. I did not enter my writing into said contest, but apparently the Some Kind of Wonderful awards picked Continuum as the winner in the judges' pick category for poems. Quite frankly, I'm pleased with myself. Not only do I have actual news to post on my page, but somebody likes my writing. WooHoo! So thanks, Some Kind of Wonderful! Glad you liked it. Life update: I now live in upstate New York where I work my ass of as a music performance major by day and mother figure/writer/intellectual by night. I wish I could accurately use the "I wear too many hats" metaphor, but I haven't worn my fedora at all. | |||||||||||
