Hi, I'm Sarah (DaphHime) and this would be my fourth NaNo. I'm from Villa Park, IL which is somewhat close to Naperville I guess. I last did this about two years ago but never got the chance to do so due to college. Now that I'm on a short break from school due to financial reasons, I have some time to put into this.

Sadly I've never completed a novel and I only vaguely remember the ones I did do. My first one was a type of urban fantasy, second was more of a straight up fantasy with some romance thrown in, and the third was a fan fic. This year I'm doing a modern fantasy/horror novel. Well more suspense than horror and the fantasy is more of the supernatural kind. It starts off as the basic "young adults go on camping trip then something horrible happens" type plot, with a bit of a twist. Lots of nerdy references too to my nerdy life. Expect a lot of genre savvy people in this one.

I'm also more of an artist than a writer (my major is graphic design) but writing helps and inspires me in my artwork. Plus I've always wanted to write a comic, or at least make up characters and a plot for one.
