I am 24 years old. I have spent most of my adult life travelling around the U.S. or living in a small town in southern Illinois. I now reside in Chicago, IL and hope to get paid for my writing one day. I take criticism very well and enjoy learning new things about grammer and creativity. I draw a lot of inspiration from beat writers but do not try to write like them. I have my own unique style and I hope people enjoy it.
