About Me

I'm 25 and just moved from Charlotte, NC to Greensboro, NC. I'm finally getting back into school after a 5 year break so that I can major in exercise science. I'm not quite sure what I'll do with it, but I know I want to help people. I have a great passion for the outdoors(especially the mountains), music, books, and writing. If I'm not at work or doing the school thing you can either find me burried in a book or sitting at the computer finishing up or editing one of my stories. I'm greatly influenced by the likes of Stephen King, Edgar Allan Poe, HP Lovecraft, Anne Rice, and JRR Tolkien. I hope one day to get myself published, even if it's through a small publisher, just to prove that I do have something I'm good at. Please feel free to read some of my writing in my blog, or check out my Writer's Cafe profile Read My Writing at WritersCafe.org
