about me

Artemis Rayne - which is me, why am I talking about myself in the third person...? Start over. I, Artie, am a twenty-two year old aspiring writer currently stuck within the state of Utah due to a certain annoying lack of finances brought on by the overwhelmingly expensive American higher education system. I'm currently studying Broadcast Media Journalism at Utah State University and spend the large majority of my regrettably limited free time working on any of my numerous novels that somehow never seem to reach completion. Or even chapter two half of the time.

When not writing, I enjoy musical theatre (the sillier the better), performing both improv and stand-up comedy, and filming video-blogs for my YouTube channel - or at least will once I get the camera on my laptop working properly or can afford a separate one, whichever comes first. I have an unhealthy addiction to Dr. Pepper and Oreos, am dyslexic, and have an unconscious tendency to talk to inanimate objects. So basically, I'm your typical every-person.

Also I have a cat named Mojo who is the love of my life, and who threatened to shred all of the toilet tissue if I didn't mention him. Yeah, you can tell who wears the trousers in this house, can't you?

This year I participated in (and won!) NaNoWriMo 2011, writing a young adult fantasy novel called "Scheherazade's Mirror," which you can view on my fictionpress.com page using the link below. Once it's completed and in the revision stages it will be posted here for critique.
