Introduction	Lostariel is an Elvish name that means blooming. It's not my only pseudonym, but it's the first one I tried. I'm an introverted writer with a vivid, overactive, and rather romantic imagination. I'm the eldest of six children. Most importantly, I'm a follower of Jesus Christ. I love to worship Him in song. Jesus saves! I always want to bring Him glory, becoming more and more like Him as I do so. That's True Love right there.
Interests	reading, writing, no that's really it, I like to doodle characters but I'd be insulting artists to say I'm interested in it professionally, I also sing a lot but not seriously
