Who am I, exactly? I'd like to think of myself as being a lot of things. I'm twenty, stuck in the same routine, and trying to leave my mark in the world. It seems that writing is the only way I've been able to accomplish that. I am also an avid, consistent listener of the wonderful music that Brand New has created over the past seven plus years. I am not ashamed to admit that they're pretty much the only other reason I write - besides for myself, that is.
I am a very approachable, mild-tempered girl. I rarely get angry, and I don't act like I'm better than anyone else. I'm quiet, shy, and very misunderstood. People, I've learned, are so quick to judge and determine what kind of person that I am, that I tend to keep to myself. I have only two friends that I still talk to from high school, and I don't have much of a social life.
I like web design, and the endless possibilities it has. I'm going to get certified here. Eventually. I'm also very interested in graphic design. It's a fun way to be creative when I'm tired of thinking of words and fresh plots. Photoshop and Inkscape are my favorites.
I think talking to be people on fp has changed me and impacted my writing, greatly. A lot of people I knew from fp (years ago) have since moved on with their lives, and/or we've lost touch. And I really think it would be great to find more friends who enjoy this site just as much as me. It's one place I don't think I could ever leave - not for a long time, at least.
So, feel free to drop me a PM, email, or IM at any time.
What's writing have to do with anything? To be honest, writing wasn't one of those things that I excelled in from the get-go. It was in fifth grade, after I submitted my report on Harriet Beecher Stowe, that I got a small taste for my talents. My teacher told us that she was sending in all the great papers (i don't remember where it was to) for a contest. I didn't win, but my report was one of those papers that made it to that contest.
By sixth grade, I realized I had a natural way of story-telling. I never really wrote anything unless I had to. Then, when I got put into an advanced literature and english class in eighth grade, my love for writing really started taking shape. It was the summer before ninth grade that I stumbled across Fiction Press. I joined the same day I found it, and since then - writing has become everything to me. I read every day, at least five pages, and I write just as frequently - even if I trash most of that useless garbage.
I don't claim to be perfect. I have grammar errors and spelling errors no matter how many times my eyes reread my material? Why? My eyes tend to skip over some mistakes, but I promise that everything I post isn't full of mistakes and errors. You'll find a couple, tops, in most. And if you aren't a super grammar freak, I think you won't mind these tiny mistakes.

News:
May is going to be a good month. I have a handful of new projects to post - some finished and some multi-chaptered. It's a mish-mash of different things. And I'd say there's a little bit of everything, so I hope I can please a larger crowd. I'm really stepping out of my element for a few of these projects. Extention. I am very, very, very inspired. Things may start popping up everywhere.
