Who is Toxic Paradox? 

Hello. My name's Jess and I am a first year University student studying English and Creative Writing (so I can't be too bad, if they let me in...).  I love writing, although sometimes I'm not very good.  However, I can take constructive criticism and in fact I welcome it.  I also like to help out, whether by editing for friends or just reading and giving feedback. 

So, is there anything else you would like to know? If yes, you can always ask.  I don't bite (much)...

  Saw you were reading my story (With Every Passing Day). I just updated it. Happy reading.
  
  P.S. I can't believe Kevin and Tiger Lily read it. Amazing.

  Another eglish major it seems like there's alot of politics and science majors on here. Love your page, I can never figure out how to do anything more complicated than the links in words thing (to note my cluelessness) and even that took me hours to get right.
