Never really done one of these introduction things before, but here we go... I'm a new writer just getting started on my first novel. I wrote fanfiction in my highschool days and I had so much fun that I decided that I wanted to continue writing, and write my own stories some day. I mostly stay within the YA and NA range and write pretty much only fantasy. It's the genre that made me love books, so it holds a special place in my heart. My stories mostly stem from dreams, either the sleeping kind or something that I wanted to happen in real life. I joined the site to get critiques as well as write some of my own. I also came for the abundance of resources available for use. I hope I can be as much of a help to others as others may be of help to me. Happy writing
