Hi! I'm a graduate student in education who is on a temporary leave of absence trying her hand at writing a fantasy novel. I live in Spokane, Washington. I'm single and own an eighteen-month old ShihTzu puppy named Ziggy. I'm looking forward to the holidays and spending time with friends and family. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time on Writing.com and am hoping to give many reviews and to learn much about writing from the reviews other people give my writing. My goal is to have the rough draft of my book done before I return to college in January, 2011. Just wanted to say thank you for looking at my portfolio! Thank you!
