Basics

Yes, I'm a writer, what about it? I'm Reiden Lightman, and What I write is all up to my inspiration and what my audience wants. I've always been more into writing than I was into reading, but here on Fiction press is where I like to do most of my reading. Other than my favorite authors on this site, I also have enjoyed the works of Richie Tankersley Cusick and Mark Twain. I do not believe in turning every story into a happy ending, and I also don't intend on making every story I write a love story. So Far Twilight Starr has been the only one to man up and tell me what he thinks. Thank you Twilight Starr. I also strongly recommend his stories.

Note that I will not review after every single chapter, but I do believe in reviewing to let the author know how he or she is doing. I normally review after every 3 or 4 chapters, unless I feel a part is significant enough to reward it it's own review. However, please don't expect me to review fifteen times for a fifteen chapter story. three or four times maybe, but not fifteen. But, If I love it enough, I will finish it. If you need a review, tell me and I'll read. Really because fiction is my favorite thing to read. I've never been into reading history books or biographies. That's why I'll never write one either.

Talk To Me

I have signed up to be a beta reader, however, I only take requests on PM. Being a writer, I try to indulge myself in others' creativity to help spark my own. It's a great system, and I suggest you try it. I mainly read young adult because that's what I am.

Also, talk to be about my stories. I love to please my audience, so If something is not enjoyable, tell me. I will do my best to make my stories enjoyable for all readers, mainly for the majority that have the guts to leave a review. If you didn't like it, at least give some positive criticism. I prefer that you're critical rather than just saying 10/10 because you felt like reading it but didn't feel like leaving a review.

Setting An Image

I have dirty blond, pretty short, hair. I also have nice bright blue eyes, which girls often comment me on. "Your eyes are very pretty," is what most of them sound like. And online, some girls actually put a blushing sign. When you look at me, I'm one of the whitest people you'll ever see. I'm not proud to be white because of past slavery, but simply because I get it from my mother. (I strongly despise slavery.) My height reaches 5 feet 8 inches, and I'm only 110 pounds. I'm Skinny! I'm proud of that. My metabolism is seriously fast, almost unnatural, and I eat constantly. In fact, I had to use a carseat by law until I was 10 years old. I normally like to wear plain blue Jeans along with any shirt I want to where. The shirts I like to where most are the ones that have just one plain color, say something funny on them, or represent a Hawaiian theme. As a matter of fact, if it's Friday, I am going to be wearing a Hawaiian themed flannel.

(When I am taking care of myself, I actually want a full wardrobe of blue jeans and Hawaiian shirt. And maybe a tuxedo or a suit in case I need it.)

Why I Write

Writing became a hobby for me when I started writing my own comedy series, The Uncool Friends, which I probably won't release any time on Fictionpress. A few years later, I got interested in writing regular stories. Will he Die or Live was originally a history class project. When I saw that I wrote more than 5,000 words, I decided to keep it and turn it into a short story and publish it on Fictionpress. It was one of the most fun school assignments I ever had to do. I realize I just really love writing. Believe it or not, but I also write songs. I play guitar, piano and drums; and later i'm planning to learn banjo and violin. I know, it sounds weird, but I like to be good at things I do. That's why I want your help to become a great writer.

Coming up
