Hi :D
My name is Christina and I am your typicle, ordinary, girl. I'm currently sixteen and a Junior in High School where our football team kills : Roar. I love to read and write and really feel that its my passion, though I am nowhere near a great writer, I think I'm on my way to becoming what I want to be. I am a Christian and Jesus Christ is and always will be my savior. Audrey Hepburn is one of my idols, and History is a huge passion and fascination of mine. I love music and really think it was one of God's greatest gifts. I like all music, and I dont say that lightly, I listen to Classical, Classic Rock, Rock, Alternative, Some Rap, Christian everything, and every other genre you can think of. I enjoy a good concert, but I must say I have a special place in my heart for the Beatles, the love that has existed since my grandmother first sung me blackbird. I hope you enjoy my stories, and if you have any questions or comments leave a review or a message. I always want to improve. Thanks

-My favorite type of book is one with all the elements. One that has fantasy, along with romance, some action, everything. Granted though it is pretty much physically impossible for me to read a book that doesnt have atleast some Romance. Stephen King is the only one to have such a thrilling plot that I overlook that factor. When I was a kid I used to read these adventure paperbacks and I would always make a side story about how these two people really were together, it was just unknown at the time. I read books like that until I actually convinced myself that I was just lying to myself, but you never know, maybe I wasnt. I still hold some hope for those people in the adventure paper backs.
I think Harry Potter was responsible for the literacy of my generation. Before Harry Potter we read to get A.R. points. After Harry Potter we read because it was fun. I think it will be a classic, and though I love the movies, the books are ten times better. As is always the case right?
I like writing fantasy, and coming up with places no one has ever heard of. When I get a fantasy idea i like to run with it, just to see where it might take me. I think that alot of the stories I have written in the past have been cliche and just done without any feeling or reason. I hate bad endings, but i wont promise I wont come up with one (although I hope I dont...) you never know where your character will bring you. Its their voice telling the story not yours, and alot of the times I'm shocked as to what i discover...which leads to weeks of trying to convince myself that I dont have to write it that way, but i always do. You can't not write the truth once you find out what it is.
Sometimes I feel the need to write a story that is just primarily fluff. These I probably wont post, but maybe one day. they are just little looks into drama filled lives that are cliche and just fun. I dont know , they take my mind off my main projects when I need to redirect my focus.
I hold no respect for story stealers, please dont steal any story I make, it would save me a headache :

Okay so here's the deal. I'm working on the next chapter of Milky Way, although I will go ahead and tell you it sucks. Its not easy to write therefore its not fun, and I dont know. I'm just not really into it right now. So I'm thinking its on Hiatus for a moth or two until its figured out and I fully understand why I just hate it now. I dont want to quite it and I'll try not too.
But for better and more uplifting news...The other story I have been working on, that has been completely taking over my mind, is coming along smoothly. I have four chapters nealy done and thirty-ish pages. I'm not for sure on a title but i'm thinking The Battled Beginning.
Its fun and I love it so far : when the fourth chapter is officially through I'll see about posting. sound good? good.

Alright so are we ready for some NEWS! Because I gots some. lol Okay so yes I have worked on Milkyway and yes I have worked on the other story to decide what in the heck I'm going to do. You wont see the new story for awhile, even though I actually have more work for it then I do for Milkyway at the moment. I will get a whole list of chapters done before i post anything for this one. Because it has to be perfect, its just has to.
Milkyway is being worked on, yes the next chapter will be up soon, I plan on sitting down and writing it tomorow but thank my friend Masquerade hide your face for that one. I was ready to throw in the towel and do this new one full time.
So I'm sorry it has taken so long, I have been writing but you wont see it for awhile...I wrote fifteen pages of the new story and i will probably reach thirty before i even consider putting it out there. Sorry.
I'll put up a summary of the new story...maybe. I dont know we'll see. I'm not even sure about a title yet, but its the easiest thing for me to write and it will be my pride and joy lol.
You'll see more Milkyway and other goodness soon.
I decidced to take a mixture of those two paths I talked about earlier involving Milkyway. I wont go completely in any direction. We'll see how it goes.
Thanks for reading :

Okay so here is the thing...I had a moment of enlightening involving Caring for the Milky Way the other day, but maybe it wasn't so enlightening. Now I am in this place in the development where I REALLY have no clue what I'm going to do. Yet again there are two directions, and both are polar oposite, so I will have to think about which I want to do. I have been talking to my friend about it so hopefully we can get something worked out.
But in the mean time to get my mind off of this crazy-ness with Milky Way I will probably start my other story. Doubt I'll post anything but I'll work on it nevertheless.
Oh and by the way I have discovered something interesting. I do my best writing in school. Go figure.
Alright anyone want to talk just send a message. Thanks :

School has started. Woo hoo. (note the sarcasm) But honestly it hasn't been that bad at all so far. I have good classes, good teachers, great friends. Yeah its going good for a new year, but thats not what any of you want to hear about so I wont get into it lol.
Okay so as far as Milky Way goes I am on a cross roads and I cant post the next chapter until I figure out exactly where I'm wanting to go, so once I figure out which path I want to take a new chapter will be up and it will be longer (sorry that last one wasn't particularly long).I envy the writers on here who post chapters like three times a day, but I can't say I am or will ever be one of them. When i write I write slowly, its just what I do. I overthink everything and re-read everything twenty times...I'm trying to get better at NOT doing that but you know...it's hard.
But speaking of re-reading things, so you know that other story that decided to enter my brain? It wont go away, so I decided to go ahead and write the overview to get my mind off of Milky Way so I will know where to go. So this is me okay...writing a page of overview, I print it out, take it to school...bodda bing bodda boom I come home with all of these markings and random paragraphs all over it from where oooh I had gotten an idea. The entire back page is covered in the beginning of this mystical story, where it has come from and why it wont go away I dont know. I dont know I'm going to tinker with it but I plan to atleast get ten chapters of Milky Way out before i even think about it, but it will probably be more than that.
If you have any questions or suggestions just send a message, I'll reply I like to talk to people :

So pretty much my first story to be posted on fiction press Caring for the Milky Way came into existence on a very long weekend spent at my aunt's house and a love that she and my cousins have for this certain water park. Its actually a really cool place in real life, and I started to think very seriously about the lives of those who work there--whether they like it, they hate it, or if its somewhere in between. Then after that train of thought came into existence in my head I decided what if a person who--like me didn't like water, or water parks was forced into working there? What would their take on it be and what would it take to change their mind? Thats how this story started to form. I'm very early in the development of it--but yet at the same time I'm not. It was in my head for a good number of months before i wrote anything down, and even then I refused to post it until a good friend persuaded me otherwise. At this point the story is still forming though I know the gist of it. I've been writing more often recently and have it pretty far along. The next part should be posted soon.
But this is what kills me. Right when I get excited about this story and I know what I want to do...something else comes into my head. This other one is very different and needs time to marinate, so it would deffinately be along time before I would post anything, but its exciting and i like it. And that for me is important.
School will be startiing in a matter of days which may or may not effect my writing time. Heck for all I know it will improve it. You have more inspiration when you actually leave the house you know?
Anyway there's a little info and heads up on what exactly is going on. Questions or Comments? Ask me :D
