Author has written 12 stories for General, Humor, Love, Nature, Life, General, Horror, Young Adult, and War.

My name's Becky. I write just about everything, and I write (and act) because I want to learn about people and understand them. I figure the best way to do this is to take a scenario and just throw myself into a character in the scenario. I just try to experience their emotions for myself. Sometimes with success, other times without any. Lately, I've been trying to focus more on the emotional aspects of my stories, plays, and poetry, rather than the narration. But I suppose you'll also see (if you decide to read my things), that I used to be more about setting the scene and that sort of thing. So please read, and please give me some critique, because I LIVE for your tips.
