Changing the topic now, I really am sorry for not updating the next chapter of Struggles :( I've started my second semester of my junior year of college and I'm taking the MCAT soon and I'm working and professors seem to think that I should have no life (or sleep). All in all, this is sort of killing my creative juices except for one shots... But I will be back! Promise. :)

Hey! =)

I guess it was about time I created a profile for myself lol

1. My name is Adriana
2. I’m 18 years old and I am a junior in college –I know, I know, too young to be in college, blah, blah, blah; whatever, I graduated early.
3. I’m from Venezuela :p –Random Fact: I came to the US when I was 15. I had to live 3 days on chocolate and water because I was too scared to ask anybody how to get my ID to go to the cafeteria… ok, so maybe it was because I didn’t know how to ask lol
4. I live in Houston, TX
5. Follow up of 4: I’ve trying to get a Texan accent for… forever! It’s still not working very well :p
6. I like country music –a lot.
7. I love love love love to read. Did I say I love it? I do!
8. My favorite books are: The Enchanted Forest Chronicles (recommended! Anybody in their right mind –or not– would love this book!), Howl’s Moving Castle, the Harry Potter Series, Twilight (I haven’t read the last one, but I liked the first three), Once and Twice Upon A Marigold (I just thought it was so sweet!), the series of His Dark Materials, Earthbound, etc etc. The list is too long to keep going :D
9. Repeat number 7 and insert ‘write’ instead of ‘read’
10. I also love oranges. Don’t ask why, I just do lol I eat like 5 every day
11. Oh! And I also love clichés. So if you’re going to critique one of my stories because of being a cliché, just save your comment –it was probably intentional
12. I have this dream of performing in the circus once. I know, you probably thing I’m crazy by now –and you are probably right!
13. I adore reviews! And I read every single one of them… and respond to every single one of them, too =D (oh, and this is probably 13a. I review those who review me -so, don't be freaked out if you randomly receive a review from me on a story of yours :p)

I can’t come up with anything else…

Now, about the stories!

Dancing Flame: (In Stock) She was a dancer that knew what she wanted and was focused on getting it. He was an intrigued actor who didn’t take a hint. This story has been taken down. It needs some serious re-editing; I don't know what was going through my mind when I decided to put it up as it was.

Antes de Mi: (Complete) Yo llevaba esperando tanto tiempo, tanto. Y ahora que estas aqui, parece que mi espera nada mas acaba de comenzar. Old one-shot that I realized I still liked.

Sunshine: (Complete) There was no way of describing her; but as she looked up and a face reflected on the mirror, she knew it was because she only existed as somebody else. I am not real. Totally love this story. It's one of my babies, treat it with care, please :)

Perfect Square: (In Stock) She would only be of he who could tame her; He was determined to do it in his bed. This was my very first story! It’s finished but it needs major revision –my style of writing has changed a lot, and it’s also in Spanish so it needs to be translated.

Absolutely Perfect: (Complete) It’s a one-shot. Really sad but something everybody has experienced at least once in his or her life.

Red: (In Stock) This one started as a one-shot but I just decided to make it into a full-blown story. It’s also a romance, yay!

The Struggles of a Writer: (In Progress) She just loved to write –as long as the only ones reading her stories were herself and her pet dog. But then Mr. I-know-I’m-Sexy had to come to her office, pretend to be a mentally ill patient, and drive her crazy because he wanted to publish her. She knew that dog was a traitor.

Flow: (In Stock) My hair is black, I can’t fly, I don’t know how to play the harp, and I can’t even shed magic powder! What’s is wrong with me? Oh, yeah, and I am a fairy.

Ta-da! This is it! =) If there is a story you would like to see published next, please PM me, I still don’t know which one I want to upload next. I’m open to suggestions!

Thanks so much for reading!
