Author bio:
The Bare Bones:
Brown-haired, brown-eyed, female, kind of short, fast typist. Her fashion knowledge is limited to "Okay, so I think I'll wear a T-shirt with something witty on it for a change." Owns no witty T-shirts. Has never worn a dress that she could remember, but she's pretty sure that her parents forced her into a few hundred when she was a disgusting spit-covered toddler. Cannot see without glasses and is unrecognizable to many without them. Plays the cello, sticking with it even after nearly eight years of pain and suffering for her art. Has a dog, but the dog doesn't seem to recognize her existence.
On Writing:
Prides herself on spelling and grammar, except for those rare instances when she writes an author bio with nearly no simple subjects in sight (for instance, now). Hates run-on sentences. Writes a flash fiction every day. Tends to just "wing it" when she writes. Her writing genres of choice include dark fiction, poetry, myths and folktales, fantasy, realistic fiction, humor, and even some memoir and sci-fi. Has lots of ideas but isn't sure how to construct any plots longer than a few paragraphs– her main roadblock in tackling NaNoWriMo. Usually sticks to her writing goals. Strengths: dialogue, description, setting. Weaknesses: rules of fictional universes, magic, characters, planning.
