Many thanks to TrueToMyself for letting me use her bio set up. I recomend anybody who reads my bio to read and review some of her work, because she's awesome.

Short Part for Quick Reading

April 7: 99 days...somehow I missed that pivitol 100 day point in the count down -chastices self- Guess that means I'll have to be extra careful 100 days before the seventh Harry Potter book comes out, because then...oh dear, then I'll never be able to go through this agonizing waiting again! -wails- Anyway, I'm sorry to anyone who has left a review that I have not responded to. Though it is Spring Break (I shouldn't be so busy!) I have a lot to do such as teaching fencing classes at the local elementary school, taking violing lessons, cleaning up my horribly farm-like house, and so on. For the first fifteen or so people who reviewed me, I always responded within a few days, but now it might take more like a few weeks. I still appreciate all reviews and I'm still ecstatic to read and think about your opinions on my work.

April 5: 101 days left until Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. -waits eagerly- Well, to anybody who has ever read my annoying bio before, this should be my final choice of format. Thanks again to TrueToMyself, who graciously allowed me to steal it.

There are a few things I would like to say to anybody who reads/reviews my work. TrueToMyself's philosophy: You review me, I'll review you. I steal that philosophy as well, although I'm changing it around a bit. If you review me, I'll definitely respond to your review, but I can't promise it'll be by review. I'll try really hard to read your work, but I find myself very busy at times, and if all you have are novel-length pieces, I won't be able to read them until I get more time on my hands. There fore I'll either put something in my bio, put the responce in the next chapter (if the work you reviewed is meant to have more than one chapter) or I'll come up with some way to contact you to thank you, and in the meantime add your work to my favorites list so I can read and review it later.

From now on, I'll also be using this system:

If you seea B in the summary of one of my poems/stories/essays, that means I believe it to be one of my Better works.
If you see a L in the summary of one of my poems/stories/essays, that means I believe it to be Lacking quality, and I would love some constructive criticism and a bit of help making the piece Better.

I'd love you to read and review one of either category, it would make me very appreciative. Now...

1. (Introduction)

Greetings. You are (perhaps?) about to read the bio of OnyxDawn, also known as Wendy in the alternate realm called reality. I'm fourteen, am getting ready to go to highschool in the fall (I know, I know, school hasn't even ended yet), and I live in the Eastern United States in a 'quiant' little state called Ohio, which stupidly voted for Bush in the 2004 elections. I am strongly opinionated and I'm not afraid to express my opinions, so if you fear such expression, I am afraid you'll have no other choice than to turn away. Now...-introduces the rest of the bio-

2. (Fictionpress-reviewer-related goals)

To reach a total of 50 reviews/As of now, I have 47...so close!
+To get 20 reviews for one story, poem, or essay/I have 14 for Confessions
+To submit a total of 50 signed reviews/I have submitted 44...

3. (WIPs, Poetry, and Completed Works)

Thanks to these people for putting me on their favorites list! I love you and I appreciate your appreciation of my writing! To anybody reading this, I suggest you read some of their works, because they are all awesome writers!

If you have added me to your favorites list and your names is not seen above, you can alert me in a review! I promise I read every line of every one!

Stories

Shadow Guard Trilogy: This story is fanfiction, and has been submitted up to Chapter five on and up to Chapter One on Mugglenet Fanfiction. I'd appreciate any comments that could make this story better, and I hope it turns out as great as I plan it to be!
Fifteen Summers: Is currently on Hiatus, as I'm trying to more fully plan it out to work on it with Estalio, my wonderful freind who seems to have disappeared off the face of the planet. (It's Spring Break, what do I expect?) Anyway, I'm going to leave the Prologue up for now, and if you have any ideas on it, then feel free to leave a review and I'll take everything you say to heart!

Essays

Confessions of a Wannabe Novelist: Some of the essays are developed, thoroughly thought through and carefully written, and others are just some of my thoughts. If you have any ideas for topics I could write about next, leave them in a review and I'll think about writing an essay dedicated to you!
Pictures Worth a Thousand Words: Not much to say on these essays. They're just strings of thought which have been pieced together to make 1000 word essays on the past, the present, and the future.

Poems

I write poems a lot, but I very rarely write poems that are actually of good quality. The few that I do write that I think work I post here, and I've even submitted a few of my worse poems (Harry Bloody Potter) here to get some constructive criticism. I'm always willing to edit them because of mistakes found by my faithful reviewers!

4. (Recomendations)

Estalio: So far only has a story submitted on called 'Assassin's Curse', but it's really good. I think she might have made an account here, although I've not found it. Anybody who bothers reading my 'Guilty as the Arctic Winds' should read 'Assassin's Curse'.
DUWB: Her essays are worth taking a look at. She has some really interesting point of views on a lot of different subjects. I recomend her essay 'Being a Minority in the US' and 'Sometimes I hate Who I am'.
CHIPMUNK1: 'Lavander' being the best story I've come across on , I recomend everything else she writes too...
infamously-anonymous: Writes some amazing poetry...in fact, writes a LOT of really good poetry.
QTgirly: 'Daddy's Little Girl' is a really good poem, although it's religios and I'm not a religios person. She's a good writer and deserves a lot of attention, like all of these people!
TrueToMyself: Who allowed me to steal this bio format and writes amazing poetry...Haikus and whatnot which have a lot of meaning to them.

5. (Editing note)

If ANYBODY is writing ANYTHING that they think could use a little betaing (or editting, around here), go ahead and send me an email or alert me in a review. I have a fair bit of experience catching grammatical/spelling/rhythmatic/etc. errors in poems, essays, stories, and such. I'm looking to become a full Betaing Service...let me help you. ^v^

6. (Comments from me)

If you've read this bio, I love you and recomend that you read TrueToMyself's poetry and such...immediatley. My advice for everybody is to go read a few poems/stories/essays in the 'Just In' section. Be the first to review somebody's writing and make their day bright.

Also, once again I must thank TrueToMyself for coming up with this format for the bio...I know I've probably done this about a billion times throughout but...yeah. If you have any questions/comments, leave it in a review.

Have a bright day!
