I have been writing stories since I was about six years old--probably the same time I learned to write at all. It's always been a passion for me, though I've treated it as a hobby in order to focus on more sensible career goals. I have a BA in Theatre Arts, which I studied with the intention of improving character development. Recently I discovered NaNoWriMo, and have completed a 50,000 word novel in 30 days for each of the past four years. They are rough drafts, but I am working on revising them, with the intention of self-publishing. I published a children's book I wrote about 8 years ago through Lulu's website, and then rather forgot about it, until I got an email about it appearing on iBooks. So I am working with this site in hopes of publishing my other novels through Lulu, as well. I have also started a blog, where I recently made my 100th post.
