Heroes

My Grammy. Her generoisty and compassion, unrivaled. Her bravery and strength, unimaginable. Through all she has been through (she is a concentration camp survivor) she has never lost the ability to laugh, love, and live life. She is all that I could aspire to be.

Quotes

"The reason 99% of all stories written are not bought by editors is very simple. Editors never buy manuscripts that are left on the closet shelf at home".
--John Campbell

"It's better to be lucky than it's lucky to be smart".
-- King Charlamagne

"For anyone who is: just keep writing. Keep reading. If you are meant to be a writer, a storyteller, it’ll work itself out. You just keep feeding it your energy, and giving it that crucial chance to work itself out. By reading and writing."
-- Robin McKinley

"If you think that something small cannot make a difference, try going to sleep with a mosquito in the room."
-- Anonymous

"If you haven't got an idea, start a story anyway. You can always throw it away, and maybe by the time you get to the fourth page you will have an idea, and you'll only have to throw away the first three pages."
--William Campbell Gault

A Few More Things

I have severe addiction to diet coke...It's bad, really bad. I order two at a time at a restaurant, seriously.

I love to sing and dance, although I am tone deaf and have absolutely no rhythm, but it's fun, and I like fun.

I love candy! It's my fav. I'd rather eat a bag of candy corn then anything. I also love peeps, you know, the pink little bunnies that come out at easter, the sugar covered sugar. They're great!

I am a runner. I have been running with my dad since I have been 5. You'd think I'd be good, but I'm not.

Laughing is my favorite. I laugh alot and I laugh loudly. I have one of those really annoying, hear you from across the football stadium laughs. I think it's essential to have at least one good belly laugh a day.

Hobbies

Obviously, I like to write. I spend a good amount of my free time scribbling thoughts, ideas and stories into a notebook. Yes, I still write by hand.

I also love to read. Nothing is better than escaping into a great book.

Playing on the internet. Can't say I spend too much time in one place. I am a big lurker on many different sites. Love to see what people are talking about.
