I am a reader, a writer, and an editor, all mixed into one fun package! I want to change the world one story at a time. I truly believe that words can change your life, because they changed mine. Books are dangerous and beautiful things, and they have more power than most people could ever imagine. Also, I'm a quoter. I love words and the way they're strung together. Currently, my favorite quotes are:

"Though my soul may set in darkness, it will rise in perfect light;
I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night."
~Sarah Williams

"In the depth of winter a finally found that within me there lay an invincible summer."
~Albert Camus

"And I fell violently on my face."
~Edgar Allan Poe

"I write to give myself strength. I write to be the characters I am not. I write to explore all the things I'm afraid of."
~Joss Whedon

"Promise me you will not spend so much time treading water and trying to keep your head above the waves that you forget, truly forget, how much you have always loved to swim."
~Tyler Knott Gregson

"Fairy tales are more than true. Not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten."
~Neil Gaiman
