Author has written 13 stories for Romance, Love, Fantasy, Young Adult, Life, Family, and General.

I think every writer always has one character that's based on themselves. It's the narcissist in us--we can't let ourselves go unnoticed.

Sometimes we're waiting for someone to read our work and go, "Wow, I really like this character. I wish I could meet him/her in real life."

And then we say, "Actually, you can."

And it could be a happy ending, the kind no one can write because it'll be so cliche that it just won't sell anymore.

(Or it will...people pay for cliches these days because it's all we have to take our minds off things like AIDS and global warming.)

Sometimes we need to stick a character in that has our exact personality.

Maybe they're a minor character--no one will notice, right? So when the book comes out and you stick it in the corner of your bookshelf in case someone wants to read it, a bit of your soul (writing is a Horcrux) will be waiting there.

And if you're good enough, if you're just good enough...you could be immortal.

this is my poetry account. (DPPG is not poetry, i know, but it's shorter and atypical of my style. which is guess is pretty much my definition of poetry. at least the poetry i write. anyway).

i have a prose account under "A Minion Named Onion."
