I'm Haley. I'm from Warrenville and I go to COD. I've been trying to write a book since I was 14. I have yet to finish one, but I do intend to finish my Breathless 1 book in a few years (or sooner) and maybe try to get published. I really care about this story, and I feel like I can't finish another book before I finish that book. I heard about this Nanowrimo first from the author Julia Karr who wrote XVI after starting it for Nanowrimo. A classmate name Sae mention it again a few days ago and I decided to try it. I'm not sure how it works. I heard that you're only supposed to pick a character and a setting and go from there. That it's not supposed to be based off of a pre-existing story you're working on.
I only write YA paranormal/fantasy/sci-fi w/romance. It's a great, popular genera, and it's all I like to read, so I write it. I've read 115 book so far this year according to my shelfari status. All those book are YA, and I'm intending to read alot this month too (I'm also a book blogger/reveiwer), so I'm not sure how much commitment I can give to this (especially with school work and art projects and job searching....btw: Does anyone know what store are hiring for part time around the area? I'm trying for Meijers and other big stores for seasonal).
Well this intro was overly in dept. lol.
