About Me

:) Hi.

Mm. I'm 18 in a month. I love writing, acting, and all types of visual art. Actually, I love singing and dancing too, I'm just not as good at those.

I generally like people, and I don't really have any enemies (yet). I'm a pacifist and don't like to cause conflict, but that doesn't mean I won't stand up for my beliefs.

I wish I was good at some form of music; I listen to music almost constantly, but I can't when I'm actually writing because the lyrics distract me.

Why do you write?

I write because I can't not write. Where would the stories go then? I mean, they might well up inside me an explode! Or, you know, they might fade away. It'd be so empty without them.

Any favorite authors? Books?

Authors (novels/poetry): Margaret Atwood, Terry Pratchett, Neil Gaiman, Alan Moore, Carl Hiassen, Douglass Adams, Orsen Scott Card, Walt Whitman, Mark Doty, e. e. cummings, Andrea Gibson, Ray Bradbury, Charlotte Bronte, Tim O'Brien

Authors (screenplays/plays): Joss Whedon, Shakespeare, Tina Fey, Mark White, Michel Gondry, Christopher Nolan, Satoshi Kon, Hayao Miyzaki

I wish more women wrote hilarious comedy or mindbending science fiction. It's not that I never enjoy (or love) stuff outside that genre, it's just that those genres are my favorites.
