My name is Laneille, and yes that is part of my real name, but perhaps not my first. Writing is my passion, my life: especially novels. I'm sort of an optimistic pessimist, meaning I see the ups and downs in every little thing, but often focus upon the sad solemnly. To contradict that, I'm also always smiling and laughing, so to catch me thinking what I write about is pretty hard to do. (All of the stories I post on this site will be from challenges).
