Hey!

I’m a student at the University of Texas-Austin studying cultural anthropology. I am one of those people who loves school, and my thirst for knowledge never quite seems to be quenched. I'm a Christian, but have no fear. I'm not going to beat you over the head with a bible! I have the most adorable, part Maine Coon cat named Norah.

I love literature. Those who read, continually grow. I love adventures, some types of fantasy and sci fi, historical fiction, romance, and even teen fiction on the occasion! Yes, I'm in my 20's but I still indulge my inner-teen. :) But more than anything, more than a specific genre, I just love a good read.

My stories are typically cathartic in nature. They say "write what you know". Well, I'm doing exactly that. Many of my characters are inspired by my real life encounters. They say when you read a work you learn more about the author than the characters themselves. If you read mine, that's definitely true.

My earlier stories show the journey I've taken in my creative writing. They aren't so great and are over-written. I know. But that's the process of really channeling the writer within. My newest story, Adjusting the Aperture, is really close to my heart because I have never connected with a story like I have with this one. I hope you'll check it out!

Due to character limits, I can't really tell you everything. :/ So head on over to my pal ChocoLily's interview: http://www.wattpad.com/3130416-interview-with-wattpad-writers-interview-with

Thanks for dropping by!

Hi! :) Long time no see. Sorry about that! You have changed HHGSM and finished it too! I definitely have to go back and read it. I adore that story and let's not forget my little not-so-secret crush on Tom. :) Hope school is going well and it's not too hot over there. Hope you find your muse soon and give us more gems. Take care! :)

@tlm2338 I know how you feel! I need a root canal. The intense pain does not inspirw creativity. Feel better soon!

For everyone awaiting an update, I apologize but it won't be any time soon.  I have the flu and consequently have little writing inspiration amidst a mound of tissues, Chloraseptic spray, chills, and muscle aches.  I'm sorry for letting you guys down, but I will make it up to you.

I was planning on updating last weekend, but I didn't finish the chapter I was working on.  But thank you for bugging me, it is exactly what I need to give it another try!  I'll see what I can do this weekend.  Thanks for your kinds words.  You really are too sweet!
