Favorite music: Alternative--rock, punk, country... I like things that are a little off the beaten path. And I like a lot of things ON the beaten path, for that matter. I usually establish a playlist that speaks to what I'm (or, let's be honest here, what the *characters* are) trying to say, and I'll put that playlist into rotation when I sit down to write.

Non-noveling interests: Reading, music, art, drawing maps

Brief Author Bio:

I'm a college student, looking to write a lot more than I am now, on things that interest me.

Synopsis: WORKING TITLE: STRAIGHT ON 'TIL MIDNIGHT

Once, in the long ago and far away, there was an eternal boy who (with the help of a bright fairy) learned to clutch a happy thought close to his heart and fly. Together, boy and fairy soared all the way to the second star on the right and straight on 'til morning, to a land where he and the other lost boys would never grow up, never worry, never sicken, never hurt, and most importantly never die. It was a land of nevers, tailored to suit the boy who had flown there first.

And the boy (and his fairy, and his fellow lost boys) lived life as a game, as a never-ending adventure. Stories, songs, plays, and films have been written to commemorate the boy called Peter and his Never-Land. He and his fellow lost boys have been immortalized in their world and in ours. There are still boys today searching for some fairy dust to join with their happy thought so they can discover the route to the second star on the right before morning's light forces them onto the path to adulthood.

This is not their story.

Aside from the standard nevers, there is an additional silent never: there is not now, nor has there ever been, a place in Never-Land for any lost girl.

So Greta Siler and Alicia Osbourne will find their own places, in a land that holds something more promising than "never."
