I am a sophmore in high school. I have no clue what I want to be when I grow up, which puts me in a sticky situation. My distraction passion is writing. My main inspiration is a stuffed pink caterpillar named Mr. Caterpillar (how clever). I no longer have him, but his nickame, M.C. (get it?), is what makes up my pen name, Ashley M.C. (ironically my middle name and last name begin with an "m" and a "c").

Random Information: I think myspace and emo are taking over the world (and they are). I'm in HP Enlgish and I think my teacher is the spawn of the devil. My favorite books are: Oh, the places you'll go by Dr. Suess; Stargirl by Jerry Spenelli; and Forever by Judy Blume. I don't believe in God. My favorite musical artist is Prince. I don't think random things thrown in a pile is art. I am in love with Minneapolis. Suburbia confuses me (especially hacky sack...). I've had two boyfriends. I love high heels. I had a faux-hawk for a while. My favorite thing to drink in whole milk or strawberry margaritas. I have braces. I go to bed at 9:00. I have my eyebrows waxed because I hate plucking. I love Enid. I have the same birthday as Prince (June 7th). I like photopgraphy.

My writing: I've been a adamant reader since the second grade when my teacher realized, "Hey! This girl is really smart and way beyond the rest of her class's reading skills," and she gave me a whole bunch of books. I started writing in sixth grade and started off mostly with fanfics, but slowly grew into fantasy. I decidedI sucked at that though and started writing just normal ficiton about middle school girls and whatnot. Then in ninth grade I was in a make-up science class where all we did was read sci-fi. And I fell in love again so here I am being a sci-fi writer (and sometimes fantasy).
