I read a lot of YA fiction and don't know if I'll ever grow out of it. I created this to enter short story contests and get some writing out there. Username comes from one of my favorite quotes that I always remember from high school English class. Genius in ordinary is a more obstinate and less versatile thing. It is sufficiently exclusive and self-willed, quaint and peculiar. It does some one thing by virtue of doing nothing else: it excels in some one pursuit by being blind to all excellence but its own. It is just the reverse of the cameleon; for it does not borrow, but lends its colour to all about it; or like the glow-worm, discloses a little circle of gorgeous light in the twilight of obscurity, in the night of intellect that surrounds it. - William Hazlitt
