My first Wattpad story: Can't Be Loved. Is completed!! It's a sappy, infuriating love story that will get your emotions in a twist! Now working on my story arches and timeline for the second book! Also have a couple other story ideas rambling around in my brain that I'm trying to get started as well. Not sure if I want to tackle writing more than one at a time.

I'm in my late twenties, which would be a blessing if time wasn't feeling like a stand still. I have a BA degree in journalism and creative writing. I love writing and reading. Currently working on my first short story for Wattpad, Can't Be Loved.

Pet peeves: Cliches in books, like the unpopular, weird, clumsy, shy, self-conscious girl who breaks out of her shell when she finds her one and only. Maybe it's because I'm the complete opposite, but I love loud, out spoken, spunky girls in stories. Next, characters saying 'I love you' within CHAPTERS of a story; I believe in love at first sight, but really in EVERY love/romance story. And finally, when authors/writers can not use the word vagina or penis describing the sexual anatomy of one or the other sex especially during a sex scene.

Finally favorites: A story with great, great characters and excellent dialog, which is one of my biggest hurdles in writing. Second, although it's near to my pet peeve, I fall mushy over ridiculous cute love stories. And finally, Wattpad. Even though I just recently started getting into this site and app on my iPhone, it is my biggest guilty pleasure. I READ so many stories on here a day, it's almost sickening; I don't comment, but vote often and fan many, many writers as I read stories by as many authors as I can.
