There is a good deal of time between battling my novel and bartending... that I spend buried in other sources of inspiration. Over the years I have been a fan of Jack Dawson, Sasuke Uchiha, Harry Potter and, most recently, Edward Cullen.

Fanfiction is great. Reading it carried me through many sleepless nights in high school, and some long dreary evenings during college. I salute everyone out there for their incredible effort and their commitment to writing.
