I enjoy reading up on different languages and cultures. Learning languages is just a hobby of mine; however, being consistent with a new language is difficult. Japanese is one of my favorite languages though and I've kept with it for years now. While occasionally reviewing Japanese and Castilian, I am working toward learning some Dutch, but I hope to learn many more. (Arabic, Turkish, Irish, Italian, and ASL for instance)

My favorite books series include: The Stormlight Archive (Sanderson), Mistborn (Sanderson), and The Hollows (Harrison)

Other works I love are: Good Omens (Gaiman), Hamlet (Shakespeare), 1984 (Orwell), Skyward (Sanderson), and Twelfth Night (Shakespeare)

I write because there's just so much that can be done with only words. Entire worlds can come into existence -- worlds filled with all sorts of people and animals. And these people have such depth -- opinions, ideas, emotions. Following them on their journeys and learning about them is an amazing experience and that kind of relationship with our characters is something we should always strive for.

New Year's Resolution, 2018: Write more.

New Year's Resolution, 2019: Keep writing daily. Read more books than in 2018.

New Year's Resolution, 2020: Write daily. Finally decide on a future course.

Also, y'all should check out the forum Land of Possibilities :) We're still fairly active and love meeting new people.
