BioI am an aspiring author. That means this LJ will contain a lot of ramblings about authorly things. Subjects will include, but are not limited to, the frustrations of submissions, rejections, revisions and yeah, that beast they call a 'synopsis'. You're welcome to read along! I just won't promise I'll ever say anything particularly useful.
Why do I write? Why do I breathe? ;-)
