About this project
For as long as I can remember all I've really wanted to do is be a writer. Writers write books, and so for the last year I have been working on my first novel. In-between those pages I've also worked on short fiction, nonfiction, and spoken word. However, being a full-time student has made it extremely difficult to work extensively on the book that I aim to finish through this project. If the money is raised I will be heading to spend the month of June 2012 at an artist residency called the Atlantic Center for the Arts in New Smyrna Beach, FL. Once there, I will write like there is no tomorrow. My days will be spent writing, editing, and more dreaming up the rest of my story. Upon my return from the residency I plan to send out manuscripts to literary agencies in order to get a publishing deal.
