Six Unspectacular Quirks About Me:

  1. I don't make eye contact with anyone unless I want to deal with them directly.
  2. I can be absent-minded about real life things when I'm working on the first draft.
  3. I have an extreme mottephobia / lepidopterophobia.
  4. I usually almost always sleep on my left side. It's near impossible for me to sleep on my back.
  5. I'm very sensitive to noise when I'm trying to fall asleep.
  6. I love action and/or spy movies. They don't need to make any sense. They just need to have a lot of gratuitous violence.
