- Other: Novel writing is what I do most often outside of classes; I have three finished works to date and a few more in progress. What leads me into music is my constant search to find songs that would fit the scenes I write—the right song at the perfect moment does wonders on the muse. Other than that I love reading and reviewing books, and every now and then I sing covers of a few of my favorite songs. I also like knitting and attending shows in the Chicagoland area, but lately all of the ones I’ve been interested in haven’t worked out very well.
