Author has written 26 stories for Once Upon a Time in Mexico, Harry Potter, Star Wars, House, M.D., Baby Sitters Club, Cats, Law and Order: SVU, and Firefly.

NOTE: I'm looking for any and all artists who are interested in illustrated parts or even whole stories of mine. I don't have much to give in exchange besides a specially written and dedicated story. Hopefully that will bring in some artists. :)


ME
I'm a 23 year old woman, I was born and raised in Upstate New York (still live there, too), and I am an English major (with a concentration in Creative Writing) at a state university is also in Upstate New York. I just recently transferred from a small, Christian college in the same city and am very excited to start my Creative Writing in the fall semester.

I was born with a disease known as hypermobility syndrome which causes its sufferers to have incredibly lax and loose joints which can be injuried very easily and, as a result, tend to swell and cause considerable pain. Around the age of 5, I presented with symptoms of fibromyalgia (waking up in the middle of the night, screaming from the pain in my legs), a horrible disease which affects just about every system in the body, but especially causes the patient to suffer from often times unbearable pain and overwhelming fatigue. The disease went undiagnosed, though it continued to worsen and spread throughout my body to affect other areas as I grew older, until I was 20 years old. Even at that time, I did not receive proper treatment and still do not receive the treatment recommended for patients such as myself who have been stricken with severe fibromyalgia.

My disease has made me very sympathetic and compassionate towards other people suffering from health (physical and mental) problems, which has in turn helped me to draw some inspiration for my writing. I have seen so much darkness and pain in my life that using my personal experiences for inspiration has become somewhat of a calming activity.

I love to read and write, they were my first love and passion, way back from when I was a little girl. My second passion is music, though it has taken a much lesser role in my life due to my illness (I was once a music major, able to competantly play 3 different instruments as well as sing operatic soprano). Nowadays, I settle mostly for listening, finding new music, and singing softly along to the songs I love best. I really love to play with my pets (our family dog, a black lab/German shepherd mix, Nickel, and my albino chinchilla, Henry, and my newest addition a mosaic gray-and-white baby chinchilla named Neville) and I love spending time with my friends. I like to do crafty things like knitting, scrapbooking, painting, coloring, sewing, etc. I'm not terribly athletic, due to the fibromyalgia, though I used to be and would like someday to be able to play tennis like I did when I was on my high school's varsity team. I also used to enjoy swimming, hiking, baseball, and volleyball (I still do, but not to a competitive edge like I once did). I like to do a lot of low-key things because I'm turning slowly from a loud, always on the move person, to a more quiet, reflective person.


MY FICTIONWORLD
I believe that everyone has their own little world of fiction up inside their heads, filled with their favorite (and least favorite!) characters, places, plots, etc. It's only natural that everyone bring their own worlds to the page each and every time they sit down to write, no matter what kind of fiction they're writing.

My current fandoms, the ones that I am actively participating in (reading and/or writing), include (but is in no way limited to): Baby-Sitter's Club, Firefly/Serenity, Discworld, Harry Potter, ER, Twilight, MASH, Scrubs, Psych, Burn Notice, Good Omens, The Gilmore Girls, Across the Universe, CATS, The Other Boylen Girl, Gone With the Wind, Back to the Future, etc.

I have some absolute favorite characters of all time, though I will admit that I can become attached to pretty much any character, if just given enough time. These characters, however, are the ones who are always in my head, always perched on my shoulders, always begging me for new stories and sharing new plot bunnies with me. It's probably because we're in love with one another, but maybe love is just a one way street?

Dr. Mark Greene (ER)

I enjoy receiving reviews, private messages, and emails, I really do. I firmly believe that a writer is only as good as the reflection upon criticism that he or she takes, so I encourage any and all of my readers to tell me what they think. Even if you think that I'm an arrogant, self-absorbed, stick in the mud, let me know. If I get enough messages like that then I know for sure that it's time to take a serious inventory of my writing and see what needs to be taken back to the drawing board. Otherwise, I really do love hearing from people who have read anything that I've written. I do try my best to get back to everyone as soon as I can, but with my illness and other demands, it's sometimes hard to do so, something which I hope most people will be able to understand. Anyways, please contact me, I would absolutely love to hear from you and hear what you think. Thanks again for reading all of this and for reading any of my writing!
