I love writing stories, of course. I come from a family of writers and so have always (mistakenly) believed that spending hours in front of the computer every day, mulling over the difference between "chortling" and "chuckling," is normal. I've always been an avid reader. As a child, after finishing a book, I would continue to write a sequel for its characters, because I did not want to have to give them up. Somehow, this did not get me ridiculed (too badly) at school, and I managed to make real friends as well as imaginary ones.

I continued writing, eventually making the switch to my own stories and characters (with varying degrees of success). I also took ballet, drew things, painted things, made collages, sang, acted, experimented with cooking (um, burning) gourmet meals, and in general tried to spend my time being as creative and useless as possible. It worked.

I spend a lot of time traveling, especially to warmer climes. I (still) love to cook, am slightly obsessive about my kitchen, drink way too much coffee and eat far too much ketchup, even on things like toast and tomatoes.

I spend a lot of time on trains, airplanes, subways, and buses, and write constantly—in notebooks, on napkins, or using my phone. I have a wonderful family, and the world’s best best friends, many of whom I have known for ten years or longer.

As for my favorite books, I could say I'm in to fantasy books and the young adult ones. Those with pure and (sometimes) funny love stories. But I like Lauren Kate's Fallen Series the most! For favorite actors, I am in love with Leonardo DiCaprio and Audrey Hepburn.

That's me guys. Support me! *-*
