Hello, everyone. I'm here, hopefully different. In the past, I used Fiction Press as something to pass the time. Now, I am taking it very seriously. I am hoping that by my using this website, and by others' comments, I might become better as a writer. Also, I used to just go through the motions of saying that I wanted constructional criticism. Now, I will practically beg you to give it to me. If you find something wrong with my writing, please tell me. Grammar, wording, Mary-Jane plots, or if you're just absolutely disgusted. Tell me why, don't just say it, though. Praise is also welcome, but I'm hoping I will stick to the stories I have by my own will and satisfaction.

NOTE- YES, A Wildfire Tamed has gone off of Fiction Press. But save your sighs of thankfulness, those who still take their time to put themselves through reading my past terrible chapters, for it will be coming back. As you all know, the beginning was terrible, but I am working on it, and so far I have one really good page of the revised version. It will have the same title, same plot, all that will be done to it is some little, and a few big, realistic, needed changes. I did update, but something happened to the chapter. I took it as a sign, and started afresh. At some point, I will print all that was previously written and burn it... just kidding.

I do practice the Golden Rule: You review me, I review you. Never have I read something that I have not reviewed.

For now, I have four poems posted, a very confusing story to revise, and one idea that is still blooming. Enjoy!

Thank you for reading.
