About Luxor

I was born in Athens, Georgia, and I stil live there today. I'm forteen years old, I live out in the country. It's flat and boring as hell, but I think that's what attributed to my development as a reader and a writer. I know some of you "cityslickers" from California and New York may have some misconceptions about us southerers, but believe me, there are actually some pretty inteligent people amidst the hillbillys and rednecks. :-)

Now, I can't talk about my writing without bringing up the man who got me into it: Darren Shan. From the day I found his books four years ago in September at my school's library, I knew that whatever else I did with my life, my true path was to be a writer. I started out writing fanfiction centered around his books, but gradually my own characters developed, and the resemblance to Darren Shan's plotlines discintigrated until I had a story that I could call my own.


Interests

Reading, writing, daydreaming, melting wax to create interesting shapes, music (only certain kinds though)

Occupation

Writer. It had to be asked, didn't it? :)


"The day, which was one of the first of spring, cheered even me by the loveliness of its sunshine and the balminess of the air. I felt emotions of gentleness and pleasure, that had long appeared dead, revive within me. Half surprised by the novelty of these sensations, I allowed myself to be borne away by them, and forgetting my solitude and deformity, dared to be happy."
— Mary Shelley, Frankenstein
