The name is Maria. 16 and a Junior at LBHS. I have a passion for writing. Then again, how many authors don't? Well except for that one author who hated to write and refused too. Until somebody locked him for a good while until he wrote something. I don't remember the name, but at least he was willing to accept the flaws in his talent. I accept mine, I don't want to make writing my career. Not that I could anyway. ;)

I write to please myself not to please anyone else, the effort helps though. Don't find me a hypocrite, everyone is one in case you haven't taken a good look at the world. I'll write more if you wish. I'll write more if you don't. Writing isn't supposed to be something you do for someone else, its not supposed to be something you sale to make money (even if you're good and it helps the pocket) its not being true to yourself, & most importantly writing shouldn't be about re-writing someone else s story, it should be about starting your own.

I'm a fan of fanfictions but don't replay, make it your own. That's what I've done with some Harry Poter ff's. If you haven't guessed already, I'm a nut about Harry Potter, but at HEART. That story IS my childhood, its the foundation upon which I thrive haha.

I'm a fan of fiction, I push fantasy a little but I haven't read anything too interesting yet, a HUGE fan of stories I can relate too. For example CSFTS (Chicken soup for the soul)..some of those REAL stories get to me.

I don't like to talk about myself, mainly cuz there isn't really much I can say. I'd say the top five things I like in general are. (in no specific order)

Quotes: Give a man a fish, he'll eat for a day. Teach a man how to fish, he'll eat for a lifetime.

Harry Potter: 'in spite of the dark and twisting path he saw stretching ahead for himself, in spite of the final meeting with Voldemort he knew must come, whether in a month, in a year, or in ten, he felt his heart lift at the thought that there was still one last golden day of peace left to enjoy with Ron and Hermione.' HBP the best book ever written in my opinion and my favorite.

Books: I won't list all, you'll be here forever.

Friends: Daryl: My beezie, Kyrene (Ultimate Twilight fan, you can fight her about it and I'll be at your funeral after it, you wont win against her) Perla, Angelica (who is also nuts about harry potter) I have more so don't think I'm some lonely bum lol.

Stress: Yes believe it or not, I work so much better under it, as do many people. I can't imagine life without it, I wouldn't be able to function with out some kind of expectation (high) of me.

Anyway that's me. I also have a quizilla where EVERYTHING is posted too. All my stuff is there. Look for lili120.

and I recomend the authors who are my friends there.
