Aha! I can post now.<\/p>\n
Erm… I mean, hello!<\/p>\n
My name is Christina and I am from Ohio, but living in England. I’ve been writing\/storytelling and drawing for pretty much as long as I can remember. I learned to read early on and was able to learn writing technique by copying how it was done in books. I thought it was a no-brainer. Writing is the only potential career that I am both suited to and have a desire for. I’m hoping this challenge will help me launch.
\nThis is my first year participating in (and simply being aware of) the marathon. I’m diving in head first with the full 24 hour run. If you\u00a0are not yet sure\u00a0that I am insane, let me take this opportunity to tell you that poetry is my most neglected form of writing, both in study and in practice. I have hitherto focused on prose. When I think about it, free form can be a meeting of prose and verse… but that doesn’t help much as I don’t do a lot of it.<\/p>\n
Anyway, wish me luck!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
