Penname: TheInkBottle

Name: Shannon

Age: 16

Gender: Of the female variety.

Features: Blonde, blue eyed, kind of tall, thin (some people think I don't eat enough, which I DO!)

Enjoys: Writing (obviously), filmmaking, graphic art, acting, singing, the guitar, music in general, movies, TV, imagination, superheroes, dinosaurs, zombies, ninjas, goats, etc.

Does not enjoy: School work, poor grammar, waking up early, writer's block, etc.

What I write: I like to write pretty much everything. I'm always trying different genres, sometimes with limited success, or no success at all. I personally feel that I am best at writing more depressing, angsty works, rather than light hearted tales. I have tried comedies and romances, but they never seem to work out as well as my morbid ones. I also suffer from chronic writer's block which really bothers me, I try looking at prompts, but it only helps sometimes. Hopefully as I write more I'll become better and gather more inspiration. I also hope this site will encourage me to write more.

Works Uploaded to FictionPress:

White Collar Drone: This was written as an extra credit story for my English class. It's a one shot about a man who gave into everything and became something he wished he'd never see in the mirror. It's first person, but rather detached. It's depressing, but it also makes you feel indifferent (in my mind). Take a look if you wish.

Rawr: This is a short story I came up with when I was on msn and the first thing my friend wrote to me was "rawr." He's really happy knowing he gave me the inspiration for it, and I'm happy he likes it.

Eyes: I don't even know where this idea came from. I guess I thought that I would try a suspenseful one shot. I'm not really that happy with it, but at least I tried.

Take Advantage: It's a half drunken, half sober hook-up. I was just thinking about crazy kids and their wild parties and decided to write about that and how it might seem weird for a sober girl to take advantage of a drunk guy. I think it turned out fairly well, but the ending could be stronger. It was hard to know where to end it.
