I never realized exactly how addicted I am to this site until now. I see some of my favorite authors seek to get their works published

and it makes me happy that in some small miniscule way, I helped; whether it was with a review or simply the knowledge to them

that there was someone interested in reading and enjoying the works that they had strived so hard to create. I've left several times

just to come back and find a new author after six months or two years and its great to see the new talent pop up. I wish to anyone reading

this profile to know - even if there is no review, it is being read.

As for me, myself, I recently turned twenty and spend too much of my time absorbed in work that must be done for school - or the opposite: spending

too much on this site instead of reading for school. But no matter, my will power simply isn't strong enough to resist the pull that genuine creativity

spreads within me. And everytime I read a new story, or browse through descriptions, my wish to write bubbles up and its hard to resist. But one

of these days I'll sit back seriously and type out something to be proud of, and hopefully get critized by people who can tell me exactly what is wrong

with it - for then I will know that I can grow. Was that sappy? I hope not - but I am seriously inspired everyday that I read a new novel/story/piece of work

and I am grateful for the inspiration that this site (and fanfiction.net when they used to be one) has given me and everyone else who is compelled to post

their work for criticism - I don't think I can ever get tired of it : )
