Creative writing was always my favorite subject and I used any free time I had to sit down with a notepad.Not much has changed, except that now I have developed vampirish habits: my writing "day" typically starts at 1am.I'm an avid reader and a big fan of cookie ice cream. When working I have to disconnect the internet for fear of being endlessly distracted by websites such as www.icanhas.cheezburger.com.This is my website: www.bellaforrest.netAnd don't forget to come say hello on Facebook: www.facebook.com/AShadeOfVampire "
