If you are a dreamer,
Come in,
If you are a dreamer, a wisher, a liar, a hoper, a prayer, a magic bean buyer
If you are a pretender,
Come sit by my fire
For we have some flax golden tales to spin,
Come in. Come in.

Aloha fellow writers/readers! About moi? Let's commencer avec this!
NAME: Carina
Well...where to start? Naturally, I love reading and writing. In my opinion, my writing skills aren't shipshape, but...just to give y'all a heads up, everything that is posted here is a first draft...which needs MAJOR editing and proofreading. See, the first draft is only to jot down ideas for me. So...it's not the the final thing, don't expect it to be, please. If you're a writer, you'll understand that you know your work is at it's best when you just feel it is. Sometimes I feel it, others I may have stories that are really dead, so don't mind me. You'll see that One Last Song and Forgotten Smiles are both finished, but...the writing style is quite elementary as I have started that once upon a time. If you want to read something of better quality, I would recommend my latest and greatest If You Loved Me Enough that I have just finished. Again the writing style is amateur in this story and need to be fixed up, but I promise you that if you muddle through it, it's actually quite good.
Please tell me what you think of my stories in a civilized manner so you can save yourself the embarrassment because anything otherwise will be deleted or reported, constructive criticism would be good, and always try to review! That's pretty much it! Hope you like my work!
BTW,
I'm sure most of you have heard of Fanfiction, so if you'd be kind enough to go and check it out:D http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2739800/1/
NOTE: Sorry to all readers, I will be taking an absence from Fictionpress as I am writing a to-be manuscript that cannot be posted. Sorry. I really love you guys!
Story Summaries:
If You Loved Me Enough (formally called I Remember): Leanna Collings is the smart, collected, studious, and conservative British nerdlette/nerdling in her school that knows six different languagues. But her past is not as simple as she lets on. She has a secret that's related to the famous British star Harmony Rachelles that's vanished off the face of Earth a year ago. Brenden Evermore is the rich, planless, jerk and player extraodinaire in the school with a dark secret, also best friends with Adam Ackerman. Adam is just like Leanna, smart, collected, studious and conservative. Perfect match? Far from it. Not if Brenden has something to do with it.
One Last Song: Dior and Devante met at a park years before. Since then, neither has loved another, declaring that they were each other's soulmate. Now Dior meets Devante again. But he is nothing but a guy who has a band with no educational background. How is a rich smart and witty girl supposed to love this beautiful disaster? Not only is their love on the line, but so are their lives. With a guy who will stop at NOTHING to win Dior's riches and love and Devante's lovesick brother in the way, how will these two end?
Forgotten Smiles: Everlyn vowed never to smile again after she killed her most beloved person on the earth with her drop-dead gorgeous smile. But tables are about to turn when Dreiden Landon-Reeves, filthy rich manipulative boy's next victim is no other than Everlyn herself. Can he make her see that it was not her fault? Or will she continue to torment herself and perhaps one day, suicide?
The History of An Angel: Angelique's always been the insecure loser no one cares about. After a harsh day, her guardian angel appears and tells her that he loves her. What's a girl gotta do? But that's not the end. Throw in a few devils, a forgotten legend, a weird plant and a few pitchforks and you got yourself a full time crisis.
Untittled: Madeline has nothing. She wins no awards. She barely gets past school. And she's not pretty. The one thing she can always depend on? Love from her family. But what happens when that too shatters on her like everything else has? She runs away. Leaving her poor little sister to cope with it. Her little sister's last resort? Give her private, personal, be caught dead if anyone read it diary to her crush.
Magical Lists: Jaykob's sister is extremely ill. To give her the money to do the operation, he promises a rich boy in his school to stalk Carina and give a list of all the things she loves and hates to him.
