Also known as cleverpun, or CP
A preschool teacher from California.
I write as a hobby; I've written things in many genres, from comedy to Cosmic Horror to epic fantasy, and numerous others. Am currently in a fan fiction phase, attempting to improve my skills after years of only writing school papers.
I don't edit the wiki much anymore; mostly minor edits, since the wiki's style guidelines are not evenly enforced.
If you'd like one-on-one communication you can PM me via the forums. You can also add me on Steam, but please comment on my userpage telling me why.

Other:

- added paragraph about CLAMP's other members to the end of the article.
- Touched up the Coheed And Cambria article a large bit, which is odd since they aren't one of my favorite bands...

A minute of perfection was worth the effort. A moment was the most you could ever expect from perfection.
Sanity is madness put to good uses; waking life is a dream controlled.

Enthusiasm is tempered by ability.
Confidence is tempered by knowledge.
Ego is tempered by the truth.
The difference between gods and mortals isn't that gods don't die. The difference is that mortals die quiet, gods die loud.
The two greatest tools for any author are experience and planning. The two most common tools for this author are instinct and guesswork.
