Brief Author Bio:

Hi y'all! I'm Total.Bookworm., more commonly known as Mandy/Manny/that girl/who?, depending on the location. I'm 16, a junior in highschool and a freshman/sophomore at a community college, and still trying to figure out how the heck it's possible to be both at once. I started "writing" when I was 10 (cliche beginnings of stories that never went beyond five pages, mostly).

I epically failed my first NaNo last year with a measly 20,000 words, and am determined this year to win! I would love to be a published author one day, but am probably going to major in Education so I'll have a steady job (that, and my parents refuse to pay for a degree that they think will lead to a "would you like fries with that?" job, i.e. political science, art, drama, or writing. I am never one to turn down an offer for free education.) In short, I'm very imaginative but incredibly lazy and a procrastinator, so I have a feeling NaNo is the only thing that will force my story out of me. I never finish a story because I'll get bored with it half-way through and move on to something more interesting, and I hate showing my work to anyone.

On a totally unrelated note, I'm strongly considering handwriting everything this year, since I spend so much time on the computer for school. Wish me luck! :)
