I wrote my first story (that wasn't part of a school assignment) when I was 10. However, my teacher read it and wasn't too encouraging and I stopped writing fiction for a long time. When I was a preteen, however, I started writing poetry and I fell in love with it. Throughout my adolescence and young adulthood, I continued to write poetry. Most of my poetry deals with themes of mental health as that is my first passion and interest. I also like to write about other things that inspire me -- art and writing, nature, the nature of life and death, and more. More recently, I have gone back to writing fiction. But poetry still remains my first love. I haven't published yet, but my life long goal is to publish my writing one day.

Outside of writing, I'm in my mid-twenties and I am a psychiatric nursing student. I have a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology. I am a health care worker in forensic psychiatry. I live with my mom and our 7 pets -- 2 dogs, 1 cat, 4 degus. I'm a pretty lazy person, so there's not a lot of activities I like to do that don't involve sitting on my butt. I enjoy going on the internet, talking to online friends, web-design, photoshop, watching TV. I like taking my dogs to the lake and swimming when its warm enough out, though it rains about 10 months out of the year here. I like my australian chummy whummy -- Meaghan, who I hope to visit someday in Australia, which is far too hot for me.
