PitchWars: Mentee Bio

I swear this contest is going to give me some sort of disorder. Like compulsive eye twitching or extreme writing marathons. Or convulsive email refreshing (more than usual, at least).

Anyway, this is my mentee bio. Here is a tiny bio:
I am a  student living a rather boring student life while playing the oboe and writing in all of my spare time. I love science fiction, dystopian (yes, I KNOW it's overdone... I just love it anyway) and fantasy. I read more than I have time for. I love cats. That is all.

And now I present to you (whoever you may be) four reasons why you (assuming you are a mentor) should pick me:

1. I can take hardcore critiques. I've been at this for a while now, and I have traveled through and past the point of why-you-so-mean-do-you-hate-me-or-something thinking. I got over hating people for criticism years ago.

2. I love my story to bits. I'll do just about anything to find an agent, and I'm invested enough in my book to rip it apart and carefully glue it back piece by piece if necessary. Dedication is my middle name.

3. I'm fast to respond. One thing with the publishing world is that it moves like a snail. I try to avoid such slow-moving predicaments. You email me, I'll respond within an hour or two (if not in minutes).

4. This is my passion. Writing is what I do. I want to be the best writer possible, and I am such a stubborn idiot I'll never give up on it. When I write, I feel complete, whole, knowing. Writing is my purpose, and I really, really, really (times infinities of really) want to share my words with others.

Well, that's all folks! For anyone reading this, if you want to read the other mentee bios, here's a link:

  1. OMG! It's like you're my twin! :-) (Except for the oboe and the student life; I'm a non-student and instead of playing the oboe, I dance flamenco. But other than that, yep: Twins! :-) Good luck Lynn!

  2. I'm with you! I'm totally going to get some kind of disorder from this contest. I already have compulsive hashtag checking disorder!

    I wish you the best of luck with your pitchwars submission :)
