So a little about me . . .

The most important thing anyone needs to know is that I believe in triumph, and the inherent goodness of the humanity. I love to write, it's like breathing, like a diary. I hope that comes through.

I have a lot of older work posted - though I'm considering taking some old poetry and ramblings down. Currently I'm working on revamping my previous story "Emily Chaste". It didn't go in quite the direction I wanted the first time around (plus it's unfinished), but it truly is my baby and the main story line will not be abandoned. Until the new version is up I won't take down the first.

I really appreciate comments on any of my work, anyone who writes knows how great it is to get feedback. Next year I will be studying writing in college and hopefully more pieces will show up on FictionPress.
