#PitchWars Bio

A book, a bench, water, and a dog. Yes friend, this is my life. Except the hat. I don't do hats.

Although I'm not typically into gifs, you know what I am into? Meeting other writers. I love talking about writing and books. I only recently joined Twitter and began blogging, and the incredible writers I have met have by far been the greatest part.

In that spirit, here's a little about me

I am a senior at Campbell University in North Carolina, but my home will always be East Tennessee. I am an English major and softball player, and I plan to pursue a graduate degree in Creative Writing.

I could buy a car with the money I have spent at used bookstores and sporting goods stores. A nice car.

When given the choice, I will always choose mountains. Whether it's a shady hike or lying on a warm boulder beside a stream. If I could live in a cabin high in the Smokies with a a typewriter and a husky, I would be the happiest girl alive.

Some authors I adore are Stephen King, Gillian Flynn, Jane Austen, Joyce Carol Oates, and Markus Zusak (not a terribly unique list, I know).

I also love to cook. Just don't ask what's in it. You will regularly find chickpeas in my baked goods and cauliflower in everything else. I love music of all kinds, though I have a particular fondness for classic rock. And yes, I am one of those Millennials with a turntable. Make of that what you will.

Because the Sorting Hat must be the wisest of us all, here are my answers to the Pottermore quiz.
 

• Which of the following would you most hate people to call you? Ordinary

 

• Once every century, the Flutterby bush produces flowers that adapt their scent to attract the unwary. If it lured you, it would smell of: Fresh parchment

 

• A troll has gone berserk in the Headmaster's study at Hogwarts. It is about to smash, crush and tear several irreplaceable items and treasures, including a cure for dragon pox, which the Headmaster has nearly perfected; student records going back 1000 years and a mysterious handwritten book full of strange runes, believed to have belonged to Merlin. In which order would you rescue these objects from he troll's club, if you could? 1. Student records 2. Dragon pox cure 3. Merlin's book

 

• Which of the following would you most like to study? Werewolves

 

• A Muggle confronts you and says that they are sure you are a witch or wizard. You: Agree, and walk away, leaving them to wonder whether you are bluffing.

 

• Moon or stars? Moon

 

• If you could have any power, which would you choose? The power to change your appearance at will

 

• Which road tempts you most? The twisting, leaf-strewn path through woods

 

• Which nightmare would frighten you most? Waking up to find that neither your friends nor your family have any idea who you are

 

• Heads or Tails? Heads

P.S. I'm a Slytherin.

I cannot wait to meet all my fellow #PitchWars contestants. Good luck, everyone!
