Hello,
My name is _____. I am currently living in a quaint little town somewhere on the North American continent and enjoying the sad reality of being alive. (Hmm, too deep and depressing to start off with... maybe. However, a website for literary junkies? Nah, I'm good.) Right then, more about me. I love writing, and I love reading. I really just love stories, and writing and reading are two of the very best vehicles of story making. I have plenty of stories to share, plenty of experiences to know how to get emotion on the page, but just enough hope left to let my imagination seep through. Or at least I think I do. 
Mostly I study literature, but, as my journal is depressingly for my eyes only, maybe a change of scenery is what my words need. I think I'll be thinking of this as more of an online researcher and diary. I'll only post edited works of course. 
That's all I have for now. I'll be updating this periodically. But for what's happening at the moment, check my message board.
Something else important: I am an amateur. I'm really not amazing or anything. I write solid analytical essays, and journal entries are not bad either. But as far as creatively, I'm just exploring. Some of my work has been looked at by my instructors, but not all of it. So please, if something is terrible, remember I'm young, and just learning. Now let's go explore together, shall we?
