Non-noveling interests: Besides writing novels, I like to write poetry, do my homework, hang out with my friends in vacant lots, try to learn Norwegian and only manage to memorize useless words (like, say, "naked"), go on adventures in the woods, win things, and see The Kooks in concert. But really mostly win things.

Brief Author Bio:

I have three best friends and I have known them for ten years.
I like to go to concerts and sometimes I even get first in line and right up front. Of course, when this happens you can't really understand any of the music. I do it anyways because what the heck, right? It's not like I haven't heard the albums a hundred million times.
I spend a lot of the time I should be writing sitting around wishing I could write like Gareth Campesinos! which I don't think is ever going to happen. I came close once, I think, but after that... nothin'.
I do plan on meeting him soon.
In my spare time I enter poetry contests because I'm better at that than at prose. Sometimes I even get accepted to writing camps.
When I was little, I won second place for a really short story. I also got some sort of certificate for a poem I wrote. I would someday like to continue this winning streak where I actually get something. For now, I will have to accept that Nano is the closest I'm gonna get even though a completed novel isn't really a prize, it's a death sentence if you ever decide you want to edit it.
Well, it is for me, anyways.

Excerpt: It Started With A Mix

Wednesdays are always Assembly Days, which I hate because people always want to sit with their friends during assemblies, like it’s some huge lunch period or something. And I always get stuck next to about ten different couples who really don’t care all that much about school spirit, but have plenty of couple spirit and you would think that all the cheering would drown out the sound of spit all around you, but it doesn’t.
