Mystery? This is a hard question. Much of my life isn't really shrouded in mystery. I wish it were! That would be chill I think. I deal with mental illness every day, and the mystery of discovering myself within and outside that is a life long journey. Many books have been written about mental illness, though, and I wouldn't know how to go about writing it. Maybe I'll try one day. It would definitely lead to the opening of a lot of old scars and wounds. Mostly, I just write it into poetry. I save my novels for creating worlds and people.

Irl, I have another job in food services. I try to be as friendly and accommodating as I can and try to help others as possible. I would love one day to make writing my full time career, but right now I am not there yet. I want to try game streaming soon too. :D
I have always had many aspirations to do many different things, but lack of money has often made those harder to obtain. Starting a bookstore/ cafe, selling my own crafts, volunteering full time, starting an animal rescue in my town for the numerous strays, so many things. One day, maybe, one day.
I think the biggest thing I'd love to do is I'd love to start a program for disadvantaged youths in low income areas, which would possibly not only help them, but help rescue pets, and other volunteer areas. I think changing the world starts one person at a time. If you can help one person in this life, even for a moment, you're doing something good.

Good Morrow. I'm not sure what you mean by the first part. I tend to listen to songs that I feel go with the scenes that I am writing, or else I will listen to Instrumental music. Anime OSTs are popular in my lists in that respect, as are classical pieces.

You can write the most wondrous and inspiring piece of literature and no one may read it. Don't write for others to read it. Write because it is a piece of your soul that needs to come out into the world. Write because you need it. Write because you have to. Write, because there is no better challenge in the world than creating something new.

By my experiences. I can relate to going to the blank page and bleeding out the words as if they are what sustains me. It's really a very good stress relief as well. I have manic-depression, so it helps me express myself a lot.

I decided to participate in NaNoWriMo this year with an entry called "The Slyther Girl". This entry was based on the misrepresentation of the Slytherin House in the general public view over the years. I've met several unique individuals and seen such loyalty and ambition over the years, that I wanted to show it to others. The Harry Potter books have been with me for my whole life, and they have really helped me to find myself.
