I just changed my username. I used to be Elphaba The Wicked Witch. So if you're getting notifications about my stuff but aren't sure who I am, that's who I am.

About me:

I am a young adult writer. I write to get inside a character's head. I really enjoy trying to picture a character's pain, whether it be frustration, annoyance, extreme physical pain or grief. Ever since I was a little kid, I've experimented with different scenarios that characters can be put into while playing games with neighborhood kids, and, to as deep of an extent as I could, I would embody the emotions the scenario ensued. It never occurred to me, until fifth grade, that I could put these things down on paper. In fifth grade, about 2005, after the huge tsunami in south east Asia struck, I had aspirations to write something about tsunami victims, but I never did until I found an article in People Magazine about how children victims were receiving art therapy. That day, I started writing my first 'big project.' Two weeks later, I had a completed rough draft in my hands. I've been hooked on--no, addicted to--writing ever since.

If you review me, I will try to review you if you have posted work and if whatever you post interests me.
