Author bio:

I tend to either love a book or not care/hate it so my Favorite Author's list is quite long. I don't have many specific favorite BOOKS but that's because when I like it, I read more of the Author's or series and fall in love with them all. I do that even with historical books too (granted, haven't read as much of those as I would love to be able to. My local library sucks and book-buy-budget sucks too.)

I write many fanfictions and have jotted down many ideas for 'novels' or just longer stories but have never been able to get over the hump of editing. I am quite a perfectionist (strength and MAJOR weakness) and always get caught up editing a chapter before moving on to the next. By the time I do move on, however, the idea and muse I had for the story is gone or seems suddenly not... right.

Obviously, this challenge will be quite difficult but I am determined to see it through. Hopefully, I can at least crack the twenty-thousand word mark. I have been constantly reminded by my teachers that I tend to double the word count required on my assignments, after all.

Oh, yeah, and my birthday is during November. Both an awesome coincidence and a time consuming (at least for that day) distraction. I think I'll look at the positive in that, though :)
