So I guess you’re wondering who is James? What makes him who he is and what in the past has shaped who he is today? Well that’s not really something you can explain. If I didn’t have the best family in the world and a handful of amazing friends, I would be nothing. All of my writing, whether intentionally or not, grows through them. I use instances from my past and put it into words and onto paper and then it becomes art. I suppose if you were to compare my creations to others’, mine would be nothing in comparison however writing is the only thing I have ever loved that I never once doubted and that is why it is something I’ve chosen to study and hopefully build a career around. I like to tell people I never intend to be a writer, but an editor but that isn’t true. Writing is who I am, and who I will always be. It’s a huge part of me and if it weren’t for writing I would never have been able to say and do the thing’s I’ve said and done. I use writing as my outlet; a place I can say and do whatever I want and no one can challenge me or tell me no. That is why I love it. Back to who I am though. I am nineteen, a freshman at Columbia College in Chicago and an aspiring writer. I enjoy long walks, martini’s and listening to music. I find soulful, sad music to be most inspiring and fun, upbeat music the best to jam to when cleaning and walking to work. I work at a Qdoba where I happen to love my job (for what reasons I don’t really know) I don’t have a ton of friends per say but I have a handful of people that I love to death and I know they will always be there for me because over the years they have always stood by me and me by them. I have a bunch of tattoo’s and I plan on getting more. I consider myself a deep and complex person and whether or not you agree doesn’t matter to me because you’re probably dumb. =] I like to be a sassy son of a bitch as often as possible and I don’t really have a sense of humor unless you consider that gaudy, raunchy thing I consider to be my sense of humor. I have a very big soft spot for anything romantic and I do truly believe that true love exists and that I will someday find the person who I will spend the rest of my life with. I don’t really think there is a ton more that I really need to say but if you want to know more look me up on facebook or just ask in the comments section.
