Author bio:
I am 22 years old, and I just graduated from William Jessup University with a BA in English, focus in Creative Writing. I have always been a fiction person, though I was taught to understand poetry in college, if not write it. I have tried to write novels before and have either succeeded, but with questionable results, or gotten stuck somewhere in the middle. The last go I tried to write what I couldn't and put my whole class through weeks of painful workshopping before figuring it out. I started writing short stories, and finally found what I could write through that so I'm hoping to now funnel that learning into a new attempt at a longer story. I heard about NaNoWriMo last year, in the middle of November, so I couldn't join it (and I was already working on the aforementioned ill-fated novel). This year I hope to utilize the deadline and get myself writing again. I'm looking forward to being a part of the community of writers that I've been missing since school ended.
