Author bio:

I write books. I want to be a novelist someday.
I don't know if I'll hit 50K this year, what with music stuff and college applications, but... I'm trying anyway... rebelling... continuing my August novel. My goal is to finish my baby, TCW, at last, with help from Nanowrimo's lovely progress graph. I love that graph.

I also write poems and short stories involving magic, science fiction, and murders. My next novel plan is a fantasy children's book/younger YA novel. Should be quite a departure from the blood and sin of TCW.

I like: pomegranates, books with pretty covers and good stuff inside, Florence + the Machine, Marina and the Diamonds, other interesting music, Van Gogh, Harry Potter, good anime, magazines, walking, travelling, learning Spanish, chickens, Doctor Who, Sherlock, carving pumpkins, lots of coffee, knitting, orange juice after school, Norse mythology, globes, Wicked (the musical), more musicals, dragons, Hercule Poirot, playing in an orchestra, etc.

I dislike: panicking about college applications. also tea.
