I am an aspiring novelist/poet, and my passions are literature, animals, and fudge brownies... I live with five cats, three dogs and a boa constrictor, so I'm pretty much always busy! My favourite poets are Elizabeth Barrett Browning, John Donne, William Shakespeare and Edgar Allan Poe- these masters are all my inspirations, not just in writing, but their perceptions of love and life have altered the way I think and feel. I don't really watch TV much, except for House; I prefer to spend my time writing, reading, or walking my dogs with my wonderful boyfriend.
