Well. What can I say about myself? My name is Lani, I’m 16 and live in Australia.
Pretty much like everyone here on fictionpress, I want to be a writer! Writing is my life; it’s what I live for. I also dance (ballet, pointe, tap and jazz), play piano and do karate (black belt)
I mainly like to write thrillers, or death/depressing related things. I read thrillers, crime/horror, and ummm, yeah, that’s mainly it. I also love writing poetry and lyrics.

Well, I have always loved writing, but really started getting into it just over two years ago. Since then, I have entered comps (won a few, too), gone to a John Marsden writing camp, taken creative writing classes, and chosen ‘writing for authors’ as an elective at school.
If you are going to read my stories (PLEASE PLEASE READ AND REVIEW) then PLEASE comment on my writing, not just the story. Thanx.

A note:
if i have said i added your story to my favourite list, and you dont see it there, dont worry! i had too many stories which i ADORED and which inspired me, and when i reached my limit, i started saving them in word, under 'fictionpress stories', so that i can fit more in my fav story list! so yeah, i have kept them all! (not stealing them, dont worry, im not that kinda person. Just kepeing them so i can re read them all the time!)
