So it's been a while, I admit. Believe it or not, having a job and going to university really keep a person busy. I barely have time to read my textbooks, never mind read novels, never mind get addicted to this site again :P

These days I'm learning to be a nurse, so I'll probably be trying to write a medical drama one of these days. It will help me study :)

I still don't really have time to be here, but I returned because I've been a little blue lately and the last time I can remember being really, truly ecstatically happy was when darkliquid accepted my submission to be part of the Ten cast here on Protagonize. I can always count on you guys to be open and supportive!

So, yeah, about me. For Myers-Briggs personality test lovers, I am an INFP. My parents live on a farm, I live in the city with three roommates, and I have one beautiful sister and one crazy brother who is more like me than either of us cares to admit. I am in my 4th year of university, hoping to graduate with a Bachelor of Nursing in the year 2013. I am an auditory learner with a good ear for harmony and a great memory for movie quotes. 

My favourite author is Tamora Pierce. Her characters are always inspiring and so much fun. I also love the classics, Harry Potter, Jayne Eyre, Lord of the Rings, etc. and I wish i had more time to expand my library. I'm currently reading Marley and Me and The Legend of Drizzt by R.A.Salvatore (my brother's recommendation). 

I have terrible sleeping habits, which I had resolved to correct for the new year, but, if possible, they're getting worse. For all you psychoanalysts out there, I think it's because of repressed stress and a perfectionism-procrastination issue. Did I mention I overanalyze everything?

I take pride in my spelling powers, so if you need a human spell-check, just drop me a line (I don't think I've ever used that phrase before). Or if you find a spelling mistake in one of my pieces, (I dare you) please let me know so I can fix it. And if I tell you that you have made a mistake, don't take it personally. I only comment when it is seriously detrimental to the story. And please try to get your you'res and theirs and theres straight. Thanks. No, seriously, though, I don't bite.

So if you're new, welcome here, and for all of you long-term protagonizers, we salute you :) We all have something in common: we LOVE fiction. I look forward to reading and writing together with you! ~
