I've been an avid reader since grade school, when I was still limited to checking out 5 books per week from the library. Although I will always prefer a good paperback over any electronic writing, I enjoy using this platform, as I have countless stories at my fingertips whenever I want. 
I am also trying to use my reading experience in order to improve my writing skills, both through poetry and works of fiction. I know firsthand how important stories can be, especially to those who feel alone or lost, and I would love to one day write a piece that can serve as that guiding light, comforting friend, or shift in perspective. I owe so much to the books I read growing up, and I hope to give back through writing my own stories. 
I huge inspiration for my writing is my good friend and in some cases coauthor, @SpartanCatlord, so I strongly urge you to check out their work. 

I am nonbinary and use the pronouns they/them.
