These bio things kill me. What am I supposed to include about myself and not?

Well to start, I’m a gal who obviously has a love of writing. This started when I was eight years old, and started jotting down ideas in my handy notebook. My dreams of publishing started then. The only problem with this is my lack of patience. I have never been dedicated enough to fulfill an entire novel, only writing as much as 23k+ words. That’s why my main passion is short stories as of now.

Fan fiction has been a large part of my writing during this time of life. I admire other people’s work a ton, and I don’t believe fan fiction is any less important than “original stories”. Fan fiction is simply expanding upon a beautiful universe someone else has already started. It’s a wonderful thing, really. You get the chance to delve even deeper into something you truly love, all while coming up with original ideas along the way.

My main focus as of now is The Shape of Water. I’m currently working on a “fan fiction” of this marvelous work. I don’t love calling it fan fiction, as it has a twist that is a little different from the original story and I take my own liberties, but the creature and background to it belong to Guillermo De Toro.
