Yo!
Yes, I am well aware that no one says 'yo' anymore, but what do I care? I put a lot of thought into my brilliant opening, so please don't criticize.That said, let me tell you a little about myself.
My name is Lauren, but many of my friends call me Monique or Ryoko. I'm 15 and I live in GA. I'm 5'2 and 120 lbs. and apparently (according to my health teacher) that makes me over-weight. Tough; I like food and don't see myself cutting back. I like almost every vegetable under the sun, including spinach and brussel sprouts. I like steak and I'm a big fan of mixed drinks (my mom lets me sample her creations). I don't get them often, though, considering I'm 15. I am, however allowed to have Shirly Temples (totally non-alchoholic).
I generally read mystery novels but quite recently I've been getting into fantasy (not that I'm averse to any genre).In fact, Eragon not long ago replaced Solid Gold Kid as my favorite novel. On the subject of novels, I suggests that you go to a bookstore right this instant and buy (if you haven't already) every book in the Inheritance series (Christopher Paolini) and every book in the Farsala Trilogy (Hilari Bell). Trust me, they rock. Let see... My favorite pass time (aside from writing and reading) is watching anime, playing game by SquareEnix, talking to and emailing my friends, and talking to random people at video game stores. Yes, I know my social life is semi-nonexistent.
And now the moment we've all been waiting for...

Okay, now to get down to business. Please reveiw my stories. I don't want justcomplements and praise (though they do boost my morale and drive to write). I NEED feedback and critisism. Let me know if you think it sucks of if you think I should change something. Tell me if you think I have no hope as a writer and should take up mime. Tell me if my character is being too whiny or if something is a bit too unbelievable.It is vital that I know what people out there think of my writing if I ever want to improve. I implore you gets down on knees review my work. I'm begging here!
