Hi, I would go into the whole 'acatsrain' thing but why do you or me right now because I'm lazy and don't want too, care.
_04-13-2008 two months later_
The name acatsrain has nothing to do with cats. The word 'acat' means truth in a book I read once (you won't find it either so don't try) and the rain part. Well I just like the rain; it could also mean reign, which would implicate that I was saying the reign of truth and I like that. (I copied and pasted it from my fanfiction site because well... I'm lazy)
Uh I plan to be a writer though I have a LONG way to go. I live in a small boring town were everyone would probably know everything about me (if I left the basement). I spend at least 60 percent of my life in front of a computer like all future writers... I think.
I love animals, more than I love most people. In fact my German Shepard as I write this is laying in my bed taking it over like she owns it.
I started writing stories of the sort in about seventeeth to eighth grade when they forced us against our will to write portfolios. As everyone else whined and cried about it. I finished and then just kept on going. I guess in a way I can't say I knew I was a writer then. When I look back on the things I did in seventeenth grade I want to burn them.
I keep everything. I have a large need to perserve my entire life until I die and I don't know exactly why. I still have the school work I've done for the last three years in my file cabinet.
I have writtten plunty of stories in the many years I've played with words since then. But I have a mammoth fear of rejection and will not be putting them on here unless I can find some burst of courage or sporatic behavior. I think that criticism is greatly appreciated and if you want to tell me something... anything... be my geust. If fact I'll help you out and give you a list of the things you should correct me and/or tell me about.
1. Grammar and punctuation - If you happen to see any words I forgot to put in or misprinted tell me. Oh and if you catch me putting things like their instead of there, I would be thankful for stuff like that too. I'm pretty good with Grammar though, its punctuation I severely need help with.
2. Something doesn't make sense, or you think I should elaborate on it. Example: I tell you someones grandfather or parent died and don't tell you when or how or... why. Mention it PLEASE...
3. If you want to comment on something to say you think it sucks or that I shouldn't impersonate a situation I know nothing about or... well you get the point.
4. If you just think it would sound better with more detail for your own selfish personal benefit. I want to hear it.
5. If you would like to ask me a question.
6. If you'd like to see more of certain characters, or would like to give me your opinion on them.
7. If you'd like to suggest a situation or topic to throw into the plot.
Okay I will stop harassing you now and let you be. Also so you know I have never finished a story before, so if you like any of mine that well, motivation and muse would probably be your best bet to keep me going. I lose interest quickly... maybe you can help me with that. Oh... and if you just maybe want to review to tell me what a great writer I am and how I'll totally have books flying off the shelves one day you could do that too, I mean if you get around to it or... I beg...
I love vampires, pirates, and hot bad boys with a soft side so thats probably what you'll be getting when I write. If your a teenage girl who likes boys or a teenage boy who likes... well... boys and this bothers you your weird. Because I think its the things dreams are made of... my dreams anyway.
Personally I think in real life this is the kind of things that gets ruined; no such thing as true love, or romance, or soulmates and I also think that in fiction we should be correcting the cracks in our realty and making it better. Why do you want your imagination to match what sucks in real life? So though in my ordinary life I think loves overrated and teenage swooning girls talking about marriage to their high school sweet heart is stupid (sorry if you are an exception to this but come on... most aren't) I read books about love and happily ever after because I know it can work out on page, unlike... most of the time... in real life. I think I'll stop rambling now... yeah...
Ps. I'll always put p.s. next to the parts of my profile deadicated to me ranting about actual story news. Some Things Change was deleted so yeah. If you want it back just tell and will be done though I don't think it will really bother anyone. I may or may not put it back on here... I don't know it depends.
Pss. (Maybe I Didn't Mean) My attention span is starting to waver but its cool that I made it this far and can still get out chapters. This is the longest and fastest I have ever stuck with a story and I'm really happy about it. Remember to review or Bob says he doesn't have a problem coming after you.
Psss. (Wait... What?) This story was really written like this but the fictionpress downloads it as it pleases I guess. I jave no clue what I'm doing with this story and I think there's a large chance that this is just going to cause my to screw it up but I'll try to make it good. Pretty much this is only here to tell you if you want any kind of pictures of the room Alexis has just email me and I'll send it to you. Why would you want them... you wouldn't. But I'm crazy and thought I'd cover all the bases. I am working on the second chapter so anyone who wanted it to be done... your wish has been granted. Still if you love one of my stories you should read the other. Now it is almost two thirty in the morning and I'm going to 'pretend' like I'm going to sleep when really all I'm going to be doing is finishing 'wish me luck' the second chapter for Wait... What? and maybe listening to some The Fray, bye.
Pssss. (Night) Night is a story I started in order to publish last year. It's my baby and I love it with a passion though I haven't been interested in continuing it for quite a while. I posted it to see what people thought about it... right now thats all I'm saying so don't get too excited (or maybe worried). Just tell me what you think. Please be honest okay? And freaking review people, very infuriating seeing 150 hits and 5 reviews you know? Review every chapter or twice if you want. MAKE ME FEEL BETTER!
Why didn't anybody tell me I copied the first chapter a second time instead of putting my summary on! I hate when I do that. Anyways its fixed so... read it!
Email me with any random questions you have too. I don't mind. And I wrote the next chapter a little but it kind of got away from me. Anyone willing to read it and tell me if I should put it in or not? I'm kind of hesitant.
