There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed.

-Ernest Hemingway

The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars...

-Jack Kerouac

Hey there! My name is Jessica, and my username is a hell of a lot to type, so feel free to call me by my first name. If that feels a bit too familiar to you, then I'll answer to EM or Eleu as well, why not. c;

This is my second account on . I decided to recreate an account since I was significantly younger when I first created and my writing style has definitely changed and matured. (Also, there are some unfinished fics there I'd rather not touch again and posting new fics on that account without updating the others is probably a no-no.) So technically, I've been on this site for five years now. I'm an English major hoping to eventually teach at the university level, though I'm currently employed as an editor at my university's publishing house. If anyone's curious about how that works, I'd be happy to answer questions lmao

That's all I can really think of at the moment. Shoot me a PM, I love talking to people.

Also, don't hesitate to talk to me on tumblr! My url is "104kids" c:

I'm also pretty sure that 99.99999% of all my story drafts come from Killers lyrics and lol i regret nothing
