Favorite Quotes:
"Assert your right to make a few mistakes. If people can't accept your imperfections, that's their fault." - Dr. David M. Burns

Goal: Get at least one story published before I graduate from college!
Likes: writing and reading (duh!), Titanic (ship not the movie), Harry Potter, history, Lost, So You Think You Can Dance, etc.
Dislikes: rude and obnoxious people, cliched high school romances, cliched and purple prosed filled novels (ex: Twilight) and oh, people who accuse others of doing something without the full story and/or without listening to the the other person in the first place.. etc.
01.06.08: Well, Chapter 28 of "Expect the Unexpected" was finally posted! This also means that that story has been taken off of hiatus (sadly, "Everything I Never Wanted" is still on hiatus). I'm really sorry for this late update... I really had the semester from hell... I had to study my butt off just to get all A's and B's (except for one class where I got a stupid C!) I'm never taking 17 hours again... anyway, my writer's block for the story is over at this point and I have a good idea how I'm going to end it. Hopefully, this semester I will be able to update regularly and hopefully I'll have this story finished by the summer!
03.29.08: Okay, so writer's block has finally gone away!! Yay! So, that means that I can hopefully get the next chapter of "Expect the Unexpected" up no later than by Friday April 4th! That is my goal and I am working my ass off so that that can actually happen!
05.22.08: Okay, I know I said I would update "Expect the Unexpected" back in April, but writer's block has, once again, come to haunt me... sorry, about that guys! And I'm taking classes over the summer and my World Lit professor is determined to go over everything that is covered in a 16 week semester into a 5 week semester. And that's just impossible!! So, I'm going to try to update once my stupid writer's block goes away, but I can't make any promises! I need at least a B in the class and it might require more work than I had first anticipated... Oh... also, like to say that all the stories currently on hiatus except for "Everything I Never Wanted" are going to be taken down and rewritten before I start any of them up again. Though, this will be after I finish "Expect the Unexpected" and possibly "Everything I Never Wanted", if I can ever get over my writer's block for that particular story...
06.18.08: I know that I said I would update soon... though the fact that I still have writer's block is making that difficult. Oh, and the whole stress at school as well... A LOT of stuff has happened... one things in particular that pissed me off completely, and it had nothing to do with my World Literature II class... that's all I'm saying, if you're that curious... you can check out my livejournal for a shortened version of the whole ordeal (link is below). Though, the good part about this whole ordeal is now that's it over, I can sit here and make fun of it... all I want to! :) Anyway, going back to my updating... I have written and rewritten chapter 29 several times... and it's driving me crazy because nothing seems to look good in my eyes. I'm trying, really, I am... but this is the worst case of writer's block I have ever gotten.
07.17.08: "Expect the Unexpected" was finally updated! Plus, I'm working really hard on the second chapter of "Everything I Never Wanted"! And summer semester is almost over!! So, that should mean more updates, unless writer's block really gets really bad like it has been doing for the past six months or so.

I absolutely love to write. I don't think I'm that good yet, but that's why I'm here. I really want to reach my goal of getting one book published before I graduate from college. In order to do that, I need as much help with all my stuff, I need people to tell me what they like and what they don't like and what could be improved. The one story that I am really looking at for publication is "Expect the Unexpected", so I would appreciate as much feedback on that as I can get.
Anyway, now that that is said, time to bore you to death with my mini biography...
I'm pretty much your average girl, well, okay not really, I HATE TO SHOP. Seriously, anyone who wants me to go with them to the mall, has to drag me kicking and screaming the entire way... and I'm no fun because the whole time I'm like "are we done, yet? Can we go now?" :)
I'm also really kind of random. I mean, I laugh at the stupidest things. And I change the topic of discussion at random all the time. It annoys everyone, it's kind of fun and also kind of sad. But what can I say? I'm a dork.
I'd have to say, though, that only my friends know the true me, I come off as quiet at first... but I'm really not, once I open up to you.
My story ideas come from my brain most of the time. My poems, on the other hand, come from my heart.
My characters are loosely based on friends.
Okay, I lied, they're really the type of girl I sometimes wished I was. Yea, I know, I'm quite pathetic.
Please read and review my stuff! I love getting new reviewers/readers (makes me feel special :)) So, at least take a look, it couldn't hurt, could it?
And if you are a dedicated reader and/or reviewer, thanks! Your support makes me write more and more... okay, not really, but it makes me write faster knowing that people will actually be reading what I worked so hard on...(makes me get off my lazy ass). I would say that the more reviews I get the faster I'll update, but that is such a lie, so I won't.

CURRENT POEMS:
I'm Sorry- a poem I wrote for a Creative Writing assignment. We were suppose to write down five things that people said to us in the past that hurt our feelings and include them in a poem... I think it's good for my first ever poem...
It's about being yourself, and not letting others influence anything you do...
Thanks- Just saying thanks to someone for showing me true love and seeing me for me... kind of personal.
Love is...- I wrote this for the Literary Art Magazine love contest at my school. It tied for third. Please tell me what you think!
I'm Not Perfect- This is similar to "I'm Sorry" but the message is different...
God's Angel- I wrote this as a dedication to a friend that recently died in a car accident, as well as her family for the dark times that lie ahead for them.
