Author has written 16 stories for Vampire Hunter D, and Naruto. I'm a 30 year old graduate school student, trying to get through life as a writer. I majored in psychology, which gives you a really insightful perspective to life, but am currently enrolled in a masters program in English Literature. My professors, luckily, have been driving the whip and are actively helping me to hone my writing skills. For arbitrary updates, occasional drabble posts and general inanity, you can visit my livejournal page: http://celticoak.livejournal.com/ Please feel free to add me if you're not too bored with my ramblings but don't forget to comment on my 'friends only' entry so I can friend you back. 6.Dec.11 So, I conquered NaNoWriMo with around 5 days to spare. It seems there was a lot I wanted to write that I had been previously unaware of. :'D After that though, the end of term came pummeling down on me and I had to focus my attention to that. Turns out I already finished all my theoretical courses for my Master's and all that's left for me to do is my thesis. :O I'm still trying to deal with this bit of information... I am seriously close to finally obtaining my graduate degree. Booyah! In celebration, I sat down to write fanfiction yesterday and came out with almost two entire chapters for Ambages.
