*****PLEASE READ BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE******
1. If you send me a READ/SWAP REQUEST that is full of spelling errors, grammar errors, and/or netspeak, I WILL IGNORE IT NO MATTER WHAT.
2. If you are going to "friend" me, then make a little effort to get to know me please. Don't just friend me for no dang reason.
3. Don't send me messages that go along the lines of "hey, plz read my poem/book/short story. cuz i really need some picks. and plz leave a comment. thanx." My reaction to that >>> WTF? NO.
4. I am pre-disposed to NOT reading: chick lit, fluffy romance, vampire anything, and high school centric stories.
Salutations fellow Inkpoppers! I am a college freshman(majoring in Creative Writing/Publishing and tentatively Journalism), currently living in utterly gorgeous California, and intensely passionate about writing.
I am a complete and total bibliophile. Definitely hard core when it comes to reading and taking care of my books. I read a lot and I read fast. So on average I read about 4 books every two weeks; which burns a massive hole in my wallet. As a poor college student, you can imagine that spending all my money on books instead of food is not the best idea. What can I say, I'm an addict and yes I do have a problem. Amazingly I didn't like reading when I was younger. I attended a private school and they just sucked the fun out of everything. It wasn't until I was given a copy of Harry Potter and The Socerer's Stone, that the literary world opened up to me. I was about eight when I first read Harry Potter and eight 1\4 when I decided I wanted to be a writer. Truly there is nothing that I love more than creating my own worlds and breathing life into characters within those worlds, using only my words. It is incredible what words can do. Ultimately my goal is to finish writing a novel and see where life takes me from there.
I love throwing ideas around, talking shop, swapping book reviews and pretty much anything and everything that has to do with books and writing. Fiction is my handle but I like to step outside the cube too.
