Welcome to my user page.
My (currently mostly on hold) project is to create and improve pages for authors of children's and YA books. Right now I am trying to eliminate red links on the list of young adult writers. Much of the information is readily available on the web, so if you're interested, help me! (This is, after all, Wikipedia, the greatest thing since <cliche warning> sliced bread.)
Recently I've taken up the never-ending task of recentchanges watching. Perhaps one day people will understand that there is no reason one must vandalize to feel important. But for now...


"Imagine a world in which every single person on the planet is given free access to the sum of all human knowledge. That's what we're doing." -Jimbo Wales
