Im an 18 year old girl from somewhere in the south, but don't stereotype me.I don't really fall into any category, I like bouncing around too much. I love music and writing.I also love spinning fire. I have music playing all day.
Im writing massive amounts of everything, from freewriting to poetry to novels. Its weird, but my muses came back with a vengance. I guess its the new year and theyre working on the quota.
