| Bio: | I am an artist and when I'm not lurking on TheNextBigwriter I'm usually painting. I have always had to create; I can’t sit still without something happening it’s like a compulsion. I'm looking forward to my wedding in August of this year, as well as to the birth of my first child around Christmas. |
