For me, writing is all about letting the person you are take shape on paper. There are no social restrictions, bullying, or even a lot of rules. When I start to write a story or develop a character, I find that I discover as much about myself as the reader is discovering about me and my book. I've never finished a book before, although the Cahaya Chronicles Book 1 is actually about half way done. I'm excited for this summer and the upcoming semester because I am going to have a chance to really explore just who I am and what exactly I want to be. I'm not the best at writing, but I'm willing to work on it. It's really almost therapeutic for me as it probably is for a lot of you. My favorite part is when I get so caught up in writing a new storyline that it's like I am just reading the book along with everyone else, watching the characters and plots unfold around me.

I'm not all about the pen and paper though, I have a lot of other hobbies as well:

1. I absolutely LOVE reading, which really inspired my love of writing. I think it would be utterly fantastic to have a career as an editor or reviewer because it would be awesome to just make a career out of reading
2. I love to sing, and from what I'm told I'm pretty decent at it. I even try my hand at writing songs, though those generally turn out like some kind of pre-teen wonderbob kind of thingy. I am really proud of one song I wrote just as a joke called, "The Greatest Kind of Love Song". It's totally a love song for nerds. Message me if you want the recording xD
3. I like hanging out with friends, but I have a super close relationship with my family. Sometimes, I can just sit ad talk with my parents all day. Yeah it sounds lame, but I think its pretty awesome :) My little brother and I are especially close.
4. I do not do sports. Nough said
