I am a writer currently studying for a BA of Creative Writing at Kwantlen Polytechnic University (Langley, BC, CAN). I work hard and I have a large imagination; I will give you what you want and several other versions that I think may work just as well. I can write anything, although I prefer not to use crass language, and I am fairly skilled in Adobe Photoshop and InDesign. I'd love to hear from you, maybe we can get together for a hot chocolate (I dislike coffee, although you can have some if you like it) and discuss the work! I use a laptop outfitted with a WACOM Bamboo tablet, Photoshop CS5, and Microsoft Office 2010.
