"Even in literature and art, no man who bothers about originality will ever be original: whereas if you simply try to tell the truth (without caring a two-pence how often it has been told before) you will, nine times out of ten, become original without ever noticing it." - C. S. Lewis

You were a wise man, Mr. Lewis. This is my standard.

So about me. My name is Anna, and I am a eighteen-year-old from the US. I like the Chicago Cubs, Russian literature, the violin, chocolate, used book stores that sell so cheap I feel like I'm robbing the place, and listening to people talk just to find those little mellifluous phrases that are the stuff of poetry. Obviously, I like to write, too, or I wouldn't be here.

Though I admit that I love those ego-inflating positive reviews, what my work really needs is critical examination, so please feel free to be honest. I won't say you won't hurt my feelings, but I heal pretty quickly and won't take it out on you if you break my heart.
