Hey,

I'm never sure of what to say in any of these "about me" sections, but I've been writing since I was about a year and a half old. My parents have always been to support my interests and my mother has taught me all I know.

I guess I write because I'm still trying to find myself. I'm trying to find where I belong. I've never really had much of that, so reading and writing have always been my go-to, so to say.

I've taken a few workshops over my years in high school and college, so I'm quite familiar with how critiques work.

I would appreciate it if everyone took my work seriously and reviewed it with earnest. Also, when I review, I don't really tend to sugar coat, so if I like something, I'll say it. If I don't like something, I'll say that too. The point of reviewing is so every one of us become better writers. If there's something I think someone can improve on, why not suggest it? Same thing with you guys; I'm not a baby, I can take constructive criticism.

Hopefully that wasn't too brash.

=)
