About me: “...the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars.” -On the Road, Jack Kerouac
I can't live without: Movies, art, books, music, chocolate, writing, filming, the coast, summer nights, creativity, traveling, and love {in no particular order}.
If I could be any literary character, I would be: Ardita.
Favorite authors: Fitzgerald, Salinger, Rowling, Kerouac, Vonnegut, Orwell, Doyle, Irving, and Steinbeck.
Favorite books: Water for Elephants, On the Road, 1984, Of Mice and Men, The Great Gatsby, The Catcher in the Rye, Slaughterhouse Five, The Beautiful and Damned, Harry Potter, and The Truth About Forever.

Hello! If you are getting this message (yeah, it’s copy and paste…) it is because you either a. have commented on or reviewed my story By the Stars of My Blade(previously called First Moon) at some point in the past or b. you follow me! Or both!
This is totally a bragging post—I finished my first novel! By the Stars of My Blade is complete! But it is also a plea for help: I am going to try to get this book published, and I am in need of willing souls to read and edit it. This is a long novel, so I understand if most of you don’t have the time to read the whole thing if you haven’t been keeping up with it. But here’s my plan: there are fifty chapters or so, so if I get fifty people to each edit a chapter, viola! So, if you don’t have time to read it all, pick a random chapter and edit! Preferably one of the later ones—they are the least read and therefore the least edited. Thank you for your time and previous support! All of you guys here on Figment have really helped me make this dream a reality. Sincerely, Maile
