I got tagged with a “Seven Things” meme by Tara, which means I am supposed to tell you seven things about me that you don’t know. So I thought sure, why not

1. I love to paint and draw, but it takes a major back seat to my writing. (There is a post in that I can tell – I’ll have to expound on that later.)

2. You can put me anywhere, and I can find a way to where I need to be. Cities are easy, and I like public transit for getting around, but cross country is easy too. Helps that a) I like maps (and can read them!), b) I do ask for directions if I need to, and c) I can trace my way backwards to where I got lost at and then take a different route. Also, getting lost and then getting unlost is a great way to learn your way around a place.

3. I dream insanely. There are nights I wake up exhausted because all I did was dream, not rest.

4. Although I wrote stories as a kid, the first time I seriously started to consider myself “a writer,” was then I wrote down was a short story I told my brothers one night when I was somewhere around 14. They liked it so much they threatened to tell my mom I had done something bad, (I have no idea what at this point lol) if I didn’t write it down. That was the first time I took my fiction seriously as something people might like to read, and where my determination to be a published author first took a strong route.

5. I’m a Pisces, although I have managed to camouflage many of the weaknesses of my sign

6. I am fanatical about body art, and have many tattoos and piercings.

7. I’d long since forgotten my geek code, but for fun I just pulled it back up just for you here:
