: About Me

I'm a 28 year old gal from Southern Indiana. I have always loved writing and have essentially been writing my life story, by means of journals and poetry, since the age of 10.

I have generally been in a constant state of struggle between the right and left sides of the brain and in recent years, the left side has overcome. I am currently working in the accounting field, doing payroll and various other "number related" things. But in recent weeks the creative side of the brain has cried out and I found myself trolling the Internet, searching for that elusive creative outlet. And alas! Helium came to the rescue!

My passion is ...

reading, writing, baking, being with family

I know too much about ...

My favorite memory ...

Why I write ...

to let out everything that's in my head

My first job ...

in a library

My best moment ...

hasn't happened yet

My inspiration ...

everything around me
