i am a procrastinator but love to write and draw. i'd say i have two styles of writing i am comfortable with. scary short stories and poetry about emotions. up until now, i just lamely blogged on myspace until i finally quit procrastinating barely enough to find a site where i can write and get critiques and you know, the stereotypical things associated with writing. i want to get published.
