Writing is my passion, along with music and coffee. I'm 25 with a theology degree and work as a barista for a large chain coffee shop, and have always wanted to be a writer. As a little girl I wanted to be a journalist (and still do) and my dream job was to work for the New York Times or Rolling Stone. Here lately I've been writing more creatively, and I'm working on an original fic that has been working itself out in my mind for years. I began reading fic a while back and decided to try writing some to exercise the muse and get some creative writing experience. I've met some of the most amazing and accepting people here who have encouraged me more than they will ever know, and discovered another part of myself along the way. Thanks to everyone who has read my stories and reviews, and checked out my profile.
