Why do I write fictionpress stories? Honestly, I don't want to be a writer. I definitely admire those who do because I love to read a good book, but I would get so irritated being an author. I mostly write in order to release stress and pent up energy. And I also lapse into extreme bouts of writer's block, so basically if I was an author, I would have to become anorexic because I would never have money for food...

What Happened to Claire Thompson?: David and I were the power couple. Every girl wished they were me. Every boy wished they could date me. But when I came back from a summer vacation away from all the popularity and drama of my high school, I was changed. I had gotten into photography and reading. I even quit being the captain of my cheerleading squad. Now, everyone - especially my boyfriend David - is asking the same question: What happened to Claire Thompson? [Currently working on this privately and I'm not sure when it will be up here. It's literally been my baby for the past few months so I can't wait to finally get it up here!]

Unnamed Project: Aubrey Scout hates her twin sister Erika more than anything in this world. As they enter the new school of Montvale High School for their senior year, Shane Parker seems to turn everything upside down, especially in Aubrey's life.

We'll see if I finish it and put it up here.]
