About Me
I enjoy writing as a hobby...but I ADORE writing as an experience. Especially the feeling you get when an idea grips you so intensely that you just have to write it down no matter where you are or what time it is. That, to me, is the thrill of creation...and one of the things I love best.
Type of Writer
Fiction, poetry, short stories, fantasy-ish.
Writing Style
Free-flowing and impulsive.
Interests
Reading (esp. short stories and anything by Neil Gaiman), mythology, Spanish soap operas, shopping way too frequently, hanging with friends, laughing, watching surreal/indie films.
My Blog
Favorite Genres
Fantasy, psychological thriller, suspense, drama, comedy...I'm fairly open.
Favorite Books
"Company Of Liars," by Karen Maitland, "American Gods, "Anansi Boys," and everything else Neil Gaiman does, "Gods Behaving Badly," by Marie Phillips, "The Joy Luck Club," by Amy Tan, "Memoirs Of A Geisha," by Arthur Golden, and many more.
Favorite Authors
See above.
Favorite Poets
Me, myself and I :)
Favorite Quote
"Sometimes to find yourself, you have to lose yourself."
Favorite Music
Everything from Tori Amos to The Supremes. I'm also a closet disco-freak.
Favorite Movies
Anything from the 30's-60's. Anything by David Lynch, Alfred Hitchcock, Hayao Miyazaki and the late, great Satoshi Kon. I'm also a stickler for indie films as I mentioned earlier.
