Write or Die!
I’ve loved writing since I was small because I am very awkward and have terrible social skills in real life, but in the world of fiction, the shackles come off and I’m free to be myself. Anyone who knows me is aware that I am hyper critical of all aspects of writing in my never-ending search to write the best novel possible so that I can become the female Richard Castle.
I adore Tumblr. Batman is my role model. Sarcasm is my second language. I eat junk food a lot and am completely unapologetic about it. I’m easy to talk to once I get over my shyness. I love animals. I watch an inordinate amount of movies, TV, and anime. If that doesn’t scare you off, have at me.
I graduated from the University of Georgia with a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature, but that was actually just an excuse to read tons of great works of art and to cultivate my mind to the point of being able to write my own books. Lightning struck for me when I attended a lecture given by UGA alumnus Jackson Pearce, a YA fantasy novelist who shared some insight about the writing and publishing industry that changed my life. I hadn’t ever considered the fact that even though I’d been writing since I was old enough to hold a pencil, I could turn that into an actual career path.
