I am a 20-year old college student in Southeastern Oklahoma.  I have had a passion for writing since I was in the third grade.  The first story I wrote was about my dog, Izzie, becoming giant overnight and also gaining the ability to talk to me.  I am inspired mostly by fantasy and Gothic works from authors such as C.S. Lewis, Lewis Caroll, and Edgar Allen Poe.  I aspire to become an English and literature teacher, and hopefully someday be a published writer.
