My name is Kinsie and I am a college student. I love writing, which is why my friends, namely Insanity on High and Luckypugwrites, talked me into creating this account. J.K Rowling and Tamora Pierce are favorites of mine, along with Maggie Stiefvater and Deborah Harkness. Also I would greatly appreciate it if while reading, anyone sees any problems with my writing if they would let me know, thank you!

I'm a little late on the actual posting of this, but the wonderful Ritha P.W.B.Z.M. Potter has done absolutely lovely translations of Elusive Memories and Time for a Swim if anyone is looking to read them in Portuguese!

One bright day in the middle of the night,
Two dead boys got up to fight.
Back to back they faced each other,
Drew their swords and shot each other.
A deaf policeman heard the noise
And ran to save the two dead boys.
And if you don't believe it's true,
Go ask the blind man, he saw it too.

"If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary-wise; what it is it wouldn't be, and what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?"
-Alice in Wonderland

'What's in a name? That which we call a rose/ By any other name would smell as sweet'
