The girl who codes. The smug little know-it-all. The nasty girl who has grown out of her fandoms, but is too selfish to give up the sites. The girl who wants to be a writer of teen fiction - but not fucking vampires.Twitter

My Feelings about Vampires
I think I may have to clarify my position on vampires, given that I seem to slag them off on my “about me” bit of the page, and yet am enamoured with a certain person’s work that certainly errs on the side of the fanged ones. My problem is cuddly vampires. I’m bored of them. [...]
Finished First Draft
On 10 January 2010 I finished the first draft of Book 1, and it was a really rough draft. It took me three years to write it. I’m hoping Book 2 will go a lot faster. Book 1 had to go through a lot of revisions. It started as a first person Mary Sue fic [...]
Obligatory Boring First Post
Well, Craig bought me this domain for Christmas, and now I’m trying to make it look pretty – without being fandom oriented. That’s my usual downfall, I can’t keep a blog without filling it with pretty-pretty images from fandoms I love. I decided I’d keep this blog to monitor what I’m doing with my book [...]

2010 Read: New Moon by Stephenie Meyer

Social: A Sharon Follow-Up
One thing you should know about my real-life posts: I change the names of everyone except for Craig, Carla and Kimbo. These three constantly comment either in my journal or my twitter and are easily spotted, others don’t pop up so much online, and would probably like to remain unnamed. Some entries I’ve dragged over [...]
