Author has written 8 stories for General, Friendship, Love, General, Life, and Young Adult.

My legal name is Rachel. My chosen name is Aldo, but I continue to put my name as Rachel on my works. I like to write (obviously!). Maybe you think I suck. Maybe you think I've got potential. Either way, I classify myself as a writer. Since everyone has room to improve, I have no problem with admitting that my writing is sometimes not as good as I plan it in my head. I revise things every once in a while to reflect my growth as a writer.

My AIM is macaulaylicious if you want to communicate directly about anything pertaining to my writing. Sometimes review emails and stuff take about five billion years to appear in my email account.

I know I never post on here anymore and the chances of someone reading my profile are slim at the moment, but I would just like to say that I will be posting again very soon! I'm finally becoming confident in the chaptered story I started over three years ago, haha. It just took me a long time to realize that what was holding me back was my sentimentality towards my old (read: bad) writing. I needed to delete a whole bunch of useless scenes and now I've been doing that!
