Author has written 35 stories for Life, Love, Fantasy, Religion, Friendship, General, Family, Song, and Nature. In those days, we finally chose And there may be many things we forget I'm seventeen as of July 19, 2007, Chicago born and bred. (No, not a suburb. Chicago.) Aside from writing, I spend my time reading, singing (mostly in the shower), dancing in my livingroom or empty el cars, taking tons of pictures with my little digital point-and-shoot, coaching/managing my school's slam poetry team, and playing Irish harp and alto saxophone. I enjoy editing almost as much as I enjoy writing -- though I can be annoyingly nitpicky about grammar, word choice, etc. -- and will try to return the favor if you review and/or make suggestions on my work. | |||||
