I'm 24 years old.. even though I look like I'm 12. Yes, I get carded every time I try to buy a beer. Even at Applebee's.

A bit about me: I love backpacking, hiking, and anything with a fire ring. Enjoy a good beer. Can't cook for the life of me... burnt mac and cheese once (the microwavable kind), but I try. If there's a loose cord around, I'll trip over it. I also tend to over-analyze everything... like what to put in this About Me section. Hope ya like my stuff.

Music that you should definitely listen to: Tedeschi Trucks Band, Explosions in the Sky, This Will Destroy You, Pretty Lights, Big Gigantic, Modest Mouse, BB King, Allman Bros, Dave Mathews, Hans Zimmer, Adventure Club, Owsey, Zeppelin, OAR, Ryan Adams.

"Are you searching for purpose?
      Then write something, yeah it might be worthless
            Then paint something then, it might be wordless
       Pointless curses, nonsense verses
You'll see purpose start to surface"
                      - Twenty One Pilots

"The remainders of a shooting star landed directly on our broken down little car. Before then we had made a wish that we would be missed if one or another just did not exist." - Modest Mouse

"We talked civilization into teaching 98% of people to be literate enough to scan with their eyes these squiggles on these pages and to decrypt these incantations that we're the masters of. To decrypt them into star-spanning explosions, deep human insights, and emotions and all these things. We're the magicians, we're the reliable, product-delivering magicians."  - David Brin

Hey everyone - just letting you know I'm going to be taking Majestic Shadows off of Wattpad soon. I need to finish another round of polishing and then I'm going to start querying agents. Who knows if I'll be successful, but it's worth a shot.

Just wanted to let you know in case some of you were in the middle of it. Thanks again for the support.

Hey everyone - just uploaded the first chapter of a new story called Blinders. Not sure how serious the project will become, but I figured hey, why not? Check it out if you have any interest in apocalypse/zombie stories.

Hey all, haven't been very active on here. I will be updating Etana soon though.

If you haven't checked out Borrowed by@jilleigh, you should. It's in the Watty Awards for Science Fiction: On the Rise and she needs your help.

Sure, I listed the numbers and quotes in the author's note. Been a crazy day, just glad I produced something. This round was really cool though I wish I would have started earlier!

Just got this...You forgot to tag me... :)@whikerms Thank you, the link does work...If you could go back in and list the numbers of the quotes that you used at the beginning of the story, it would really help the judges out a lot. =) Awesome job cranking that out at the eleventh hour, by the way!
