ⓘ About Amanda M. Lee
When she was a kid, she was torn between whether she would grow up and be Wonder Woman or the Incredible Hulk. She was flirting with being a Jedi Knight for a bit, however just wasn’t up for all the intense travel that was associated with such a gig. During her teen years, she settled on being a writer, but didn’t find out until later just how much effort that was going to entail. Amanda doesn’t really have problems with writer’s block. She has the opposite issue, where she has too many ideas floating around in her mind. If she ever has a day where it just doesn’t really seem to be happening for her, she’ll get up and do something else. Usually, it’ll be better the next day. She is always inspired to be a writer, but another problem she has is having enough time to actually write.
