Good evening!
It's 10:34 as I start this, and it might have been 24 hours ago where I learned there was a contest preparing to open up for application! This is what I get for walking too far away from that rock I live under for too long. I almost missed it!
Pitch Wars (which I remember seeing last year) might be one of the biggest agent contests for burgeoning published authors. At midnight this morning, the Mentor Round began, where writers got to choose up to 4 mentors seeking their genre to help them polish their manuscript. Each mentor posted bios which included what they were looking for in a manuscript. Hence, the mentees decided to do the same thing (and I like the word mentee lol).
Also, a big thank you to Brenda Drake for hosting Pitch Wars!
So a little about me, shall we?
I'm a middle child of 3 girls, am a textbook Cancerian, and am a lefty.
I started writing when I was 7 and wanted to write stories like the "superhero action drama" X-men on TV.
I actually wanted to write horror stories but ran out of ideas early. Now, I try to stick closer to fantasy and superhero action dramas. lol (If you're wondering why I say superhero action drama, it's how the TV Rating system explained why they rated X-men. I don't even remember the rating anymore, just the reasoning.)
I love turtles. Ninja or normal.
I love babies but have very little tolerance for children...try to figure that out.
I love Final Fantasy games. I've played FFX three times.
I transferred colleges twice: University of the Arts in Philadelphia, Florida State, and Temple University. I have a BA in English.
I try not to use prepositions at the end of sentences (like I did way up at the top), but I don't like to sound too formal all the time. lol
I go to bed early according to my sister & cousin. I'm going to bed now. lol It's 10:54.
Greetings
