Author has written 28 stories for Nature, Life, General, Friendship, Family, General, and Love. I am a teenage girl living in a big city, although, truthfully, I should really be living a century ago. I love reading and writing poetry, history, and creating characters in my head. My goal is to finish high school with a finished novel and my dream is to be a teacher. I have to many beloved books to point out any as my favorites, but I will say that Les Misreables and The Giving Tree will always have a special place in my heart. I like pianos and country music and long hair. I have a weakness for children's books and musicals. I can't post as often as I used to, but I still read pieces posted here. A very special thank you to my regular reviewers and a very special thank you to this website, for allowing all the dreamers to publish their own creativity. Enjoy your journey through the woods of thought and the fields of imagination. -Delilah | |||||||
