Favorite quotes:

"Never apologize for being nerdy, because unnerdy people never apologize for being assholes." John Barrowman

"Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great." Mark Twain

"We write to taste life twice, in the moment and in retrospect." Anais Nin

"Eating and reading are two pleasures that combine admirably." C.S. Lewis

"A great book should leave you with many experiences, and slightly exhausted at the end. You live several lives while reading." William Styron

"Books are the plane, the train, and the road. They are the destination and the journey. They are home." Anna Quindlen

"One must always be careful of books and what's inside them, for words have the power to change us." Cassandra Clare

"The buying of more books than one can read is nothing less than the soul reaching toward infinity." A. Edward Newton

"With freedom, books, flowers, and the moon, who could not be happy?" Oscar Wilde

"The greatest weakness of most humans is their hesitancy to tell others how much they love them while they're alive." Orlando Aloysius Battista

"Sometimes you meet someone, and it's so clear that the two of you, on some level, belong together. As lovers, or as friends, or as family, or as something entirely different. You just work, whether you understand one another or you're in love or you're partners in crime. You meet these people throughout your life, out of nowhere, under the strangest circumstances, and they help you feel alive. I don't know if that makes me believe in coincidence, or fate, or sheer blind luck, but it definitely makes me believe in something." Oscar Auliq-Ice

"Freedom is the right of all sentient beings." Optimus Prime; Transformers

"Hang onto your dreams. The future is built on dreams." Optimus Prime; Transformers

“When you’re a kid, they tell you it’s all… Grow up, get a job, get married, get a house, have a kid, and that’s it. But the truth is, the world is so much stranger than that. It’s so much darker. And so much madder. And so much better.”
Elton Pope; Doctor Who

“Some people live more in twenty years than others do in eighty. It’s not the time that matters, it’s the person.”
The Doctor; Doctor Who

“In nine hundred years of time and space, I’ve never met anyone who wasn’t important.”
The Doctor; Doctor Who

"You know when sometimes you meet someone so beautiful, and then you actually talk to them and they're as dull as a brick? Then there's other people, when you meet them you think, 'Not bad. They're okay.' But then you get to know them, and their face just sort of becomes them. Like their personality's written all over it. And they just turn into something so beautiful." Amelia Pond; Doctor Who

Favorite genres/types of stories I love to write:

Action/Adventure

Slice of Life

Types of stories I will most likely NEVER do:

Smut

Horror

Graphic/Gore

Romance (I've done a few stories in the past with some romance in them, but I didn't focus on that aspect much, and even then I don't think I did it very well)

Basically, all you need to know about me is that I'm a Halfling (half-geek, half-cool person) who writes stuff-- whatever and whenever it comes to mind. One thing you should definitely know is that with me, updates will always be sporadic. It basically depends on how busy I get or how motivated I am at the time. Sometimes you might get a lot of updates at one time. Other times, ehhh...well, I'll try not to die on you. No promises.

Thanks for reading!
