she says,

live up to your first impression.

To all my reviewers, I'm sorry if I don't reply your reviews. I used to do that for every review, but these days FP isn't very... let's just say, user-friendly. But don't doubt that I don't appreciate every single one of your reviews. You guys keep me writing!

Also, I recently found out that some of my stories are featured on A Drop of Romeo. A big thank you to whoever submitted them! Here are the links: Blue Eyes, Hab Dich Lieb and Facebook Official. Facebook Official was also nominated for Best One-Shot in Round 12 of SKoW Awards.

Mostly, I'd recommend Fades in the Summer, which is one of my newest works. It would really mean a lot to me to get some feedback on any of my stories.

I've cross-posted some of my stories on other sites like Wattpad, Protagonize, etc, but always under the name dear-llama (or dearllama, for sites that don't allow hyphens in usernames), and more often than not I'll link back to FP on those sites.

Tumblr: puppy-love
Twitter: @dear_llama

Warning if you add me: I cannot promise that I will always sound sane.
(Also, I tweet a lot.)

But if you do follow me on any of those sites, please send me a message letting me know you're from FP so that I can return the favour!

About me:

I'm a university student; I major in English, minor in Media Studies, and hope to be a writer "when I grow up". I'm needing to grow up very, very soon. I read a lot and play a lot of video games. I'm really just bilingual, even though I like to think of myself as trilingual. English is the language I'm most comfortable in, even though I didn't start learning it until age 3 or so. I love learning new languages, but lack the gumption to stick with it after a while. I "language-hop" a lot, so to speak. To my friends, I speak a weird mixture of all the languages I know. It's odd. I'm odd. I love rock music - I listen to it in English, German, and Japanese. I play the piano as well as the guitar and at one point in my life wanted to be a musician. But on the whole, I lead a pretty boring life. I do however like to make people laugh. And I like to tell stories.

And so here I am.

You own everything that happened to you. Tell your stories. If people wanted you to write warmly about them, they should have behaved better.
- Anne Lamott

If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.
- Thoreau

We must do extraordinary things. We have to. It would be absurd not to.
- Dave Eggers

By believing passionately in something that still does not exist, we create it. The nonexistent is whatever we have not sufficiently desired.
- Kafka
