[Me]

Hello, I’m Jess. I’m primarily a writer/novelist/poet.

I’m from Singapore. Currently I’m in Maine. Permanent location would be “in my head”.

I don’t like labels but the MBTI is fascinating; according to that, I’m an INFJ.

I spent most of 2007 on my first book. Most of 2008 discussing, revising, and shopping Book01. Wrote another book [more on the way]. Nothing’s gonna stop me from being published.

Zodiac: Virgo sun, Pisces moon.

ROFL that I am on Facebook.

[Stuff]

Dragonsinn continues to be a never-ending project of mine.

The Galeon is a fine fantasy art blog.
The Galeon: Directory links to quality related blogs and websites.

Oonique! is a hodgepodge quirky blog.

Death Dragoness is where I secretly (or not so secretly) rant…

Web Host Monkeys is the newest place as of Jan 08 where I compile whatever I know on websites/webhosting. 7 blogs/sites for now.

# Blogger 2.0 code: B9 D+++ T+ S F- I– X– E L+ C– Y0 W- P- M5.

Modified Pool theme, Apr-Aug 2007.

I’m on my second WordPress theme - a modified, slightly messed up version of FeltAttack, by Pravin.

[The Raven]

The raven was scribbled some years ago by myself, during a superboring lecture. It’s in tribute to my favourite writer - Edgar Allan POE!
