Author has written 55 stories for Life, General, Young Adult, General, Religion, Love, Friendship, Song, Mythology, Fantasy, Essay, and School. You can call me Mae, or Nette, or Maria, or whatever. I'm 18, a student, a writer, and a musician. Music is my life, writing is my second love. I tend not to reveal much about myself, but once you get to know me, (or become really familiar with my writing) you can see what's hidden beneath. Or so I've been told. I think I want to become a professional writer. It's on my list of options of things I can do with my life. I like to incorporate things happening in my life into my writing; it's a lot easier that way. That being said, occasionally I will get this really random idea in my head and run with it. I love constructive criticism, non-constructive...not so much. Some of my favorite words are: This is the section with some of my favorite quotations. It will probably be updated quite a bit, if I remember. (fp) means they are on FictionPres -"Where is the line drawn between self and shadow?" by Crimson-Reverie (fp) - "I am not ashamed to confess that I am ignorant of that which I do not know." by Cicero -“Music expresses that which cannot be put into words and cannot remain silent” -“The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference. The opposite of art is not ugliness, it's indifference. The opposite of faith is not heresy, it's indifference." -"I'd like to get away from earth awhile -"Wouldn't you like to be free to be happy in some other way, Lenina? In your own way, for example; not in everyone else's way." by Aldous Huxley, in Brave New World The competition goes on, though no scoreboard shows the results." - Mr. J Current news (September 12, 2009): -I'm in college. I don't have much time to write/post, but I will do so when I can. I'm adding a lot today. | |||||||
