What is unique that's not in your bio?
I have a pathological fear of chicken bones.
What's your favorite accomplishment?
My blog. It's something that I did for me, and it's a way I can express my poems/stories without fearing rejection. I think if someone can connect to my writing, then at the end of the day, it's a great accomplishment.
