Hey, my name's Ashley, I'm fifteen, and I'm alright with telling complete strangers that, because you're just that, strangers (well, most of you). You don't know who I am, I don't know who you are, and that's why I encourage you to be honest with my writing.

I'm young, just staring out with writing, and being creative in general, honestly. If I mess up, it's probably my fault, not that I'm just thinking something really in-depth and abstract. I'm fourteen, and, no matter how much my youthful pride doesn't want to admit it, I make some awfully stupid/uneducated mistakes.

I'm actually going to post a list here. It shall be my list of faults. I'm going to add any fault(s) said by reviewers or the voice in my head. I'll post a poll every now and then asking if I've bettered myself. I'd love if the one or two people that visit my profile to participate, if you would like.

- Drawn out story line

- No conflict or structure to the plot

- Inconsistent writing style

- Emotionally oriented. Not written to be a great piece, but to get my feelings out there (that stuff's for DA).

- Poor characterization

- Pummeling my work with commas (I do this one a lot, I think. Sorry if it's one of your pet peeves.).

- Insecure writing. If I read a chapter again and don't like something, I'll try to backtrack later and it ends up flustered and/or repetitive.

-Unrealistic dialogue. I'm awful at dialogue, I know I am, but that's why you'll see a lot of it in my stories... probably.


Okay, there we go. Sorry if that list made you immediately realize everything wrong with my writing and now you despise it.

I do have a fanfiction under the same name, but I would honestly advise you to stay away from my work on that account... 75% of it is just meaningless, aimless crap that secreted from my brain.

My favorite book is The Giver by Lois Lowry.

I adore the movie Shawshank Redemption.

I will forever be attached to Pokemon.

I can't get enough of Whose Line Is It Anyway.

I rely disgustingly on my peer's words.

I don't believe in a "god" per se, but I pray every day. Perhaps in another show of insecurity in my unsure thoughts.

I think most all people are revolting bags of skin filled with flesh, shit, and piss, and that only a select few are willing to show their matching personality.

"I sometimes think we must be all mad and that we shall wake to sanity in straight-waistcoats." Bram Stoker

Although I say all of this, I love the world I've spent my few years on and am thankful for the people keeping me company.

I have some health problems that, unfortunately, beat the hell out of any productive thought I might have; writing can be a hassle. My updates will probably be few and far between. But that will, hopefully, change in the foreseeable future. I'll try my best to stay healthy and alert in order to write to my fullest.

4. Evolution reviews
Me deciding to take something ordinary and slowly turn it theatrical. Humor in genre because in the process of turning such a completely mundane event into something grand was brain-blendingly hilarious, especially considering this is based off of real events that impacted me a stupid way. So I'm hoping it impacts you stupidly as well. *Cough*Author drugged and tired, beware*Cough*

6. CDO » reviews
I met him in my haven, and began destroying his. I hated him and his airily played music. I hated his rhythm, until it matched my own. Story written due to my allure towards a certain subject and the hope to convey it to you all. Young author, be warned.
