Well, I really don't know what to say for myself...
I am sixteen years old, discovered fictionpress at the age of twelve or thirteen, have forgotten the existance of actual books and am trying to complete my own novels.
So far, I'd say I am half-assing it.
I have yet to complete a full story.
Little tid-bits about myself, not that you'd care to know...
I enjoy most forms of classic rock, psychadelic rock, metal and just rock in general. I'm not even going to bother commenting on the people I can't stand.
I play the bass, the piano, the alto sax and at one time, the violin and flute. Yes, I am an accomplished musician ;) but not so much an accomplished artist or a writer.
My favourite books are Harry Potter, Harry Potter, and Harry Potter. I also like the White Oleander, The Outsiders and other meaningful tales.
Please, no Gossip Girl for me.
I am five foot three but fancy myself taller, a certain undisclosed weight but wish myself lighter, i have an eyebrow piercing that looks wicked-ass (I think) but hurts like a bitch if it gets snagged, and no I am not emo thank you very much :P
Other things about myself that really aren't relevant to fictionpress...
I have a dog. He is stupid. I am not going to lie.
I have a brother, and sometimes my dad accidentally calls him by the dogs name. That is not a lie. It is actually accidental.
I never want to have monetary fears when I grow up, but neither do I want to be a corporate slave. In my heart, the only thing I would like to do is be in a band or else be a professional skateboarder. The chances of those things happening are highly improbable. Therefore I try to keep up my grades without really trying and I have thus far succeeded.
I fear for my future.
Things relevant to my stories and the only part you've probably read...
We have already established that I am not going to lie. Most of my stories are one-shots and the like. I hope you will read/enjoy them anyway.
The two things I really do hope to finish writing are: Spontaneous Combustion and Goodnight Jonas.
To be frank, I really don't like the way I started off SC because it suddenly strikes me very poorly written. Nevertheless I will continue.
For those of you who don't know, it is about a girl named Joey who, in a moment of desperation, seizes the first guy she sees in the mall and declares him as her boyfriend. It has cliched moments (too many coincidences I think) but I have yet to hear of or read a story with a similar plot line. Not to sound cocky or anything. I probably just haven't gotten around to reading much.
Anyway, Joey and Sean (the guy she grabs) end up wandering around downtown that night and no, this is not in a dirty sex-filled or drug abusing way. Joey is eccentric to put it mildly, and Sean is...well, you could say he's like a bad-ass, but he's not. I love him :P Unfortunately, when they get into an argument, Sean stomps off and Joey chases after him, only to be run down by a car. (Honestly, running into the middle of a busy intersection in downtown Toronto? What was she thinking?) So Joey end sup in the hospital and Sean is there with her, when her big secret is blown. The last chapter is slightly angsty but I think it's also sweet, and yes, for those of you who know me personally, I said sweet. Get over it :P
From there, I have yet to write another chapter. We shall see where life takes me.
Goodnight Jonas is a story I've had in my head for quite a while now, but this is the first time I've written a opening that satisfies me. For now.
It is about a girl named Alice, who is trying to learn how to skateboard but that really isn't what the story is about. By learning to skate, she is experiencing freedom and a part of her older brother's life that she never understood beforehand. She consciously keeps herself busy because she knows that if she has too much time to think, she will most likely break down. Alice fancies herself as the strong, independant sort, which she is - to an extent. Through Jonas' death and through learning how to skate, Alice becomes closer with Dizzy Tyler, an old friend of Jonas. Reluctantly she allows him to befriend her, and to teach her things about herself, the world and Jonas that she never would have known otherwise.
