RisingSun1212:

I'm not going to tell you my real name or where I live because I am very conscious about giving out any information about myself on the internet. I am a teenager living in the United States and my friends are very important to me; they're the greatest people in the world and I couldn't live without them. I've loved writing since I was a little girl, and my fifth grade teacher encouraged me to pursue writing. So though I'm not sure whether I will go into it as a profession, I would really like to continue writing and improving in my writing as I grow older. My other passions definitely include performing. Dancing is a big part of my life and I also love to sing and act. I play two instruments and music is very important to me.. Some of my favorite bands include Death Cab For Cutie, Travis, and even Jack Johnson, but I'll listen to mostly anything except for Top 40 Hits. I am a very faithful Christian and I love my youth group with all my heart. God is very important to me. I am also into drawing and painting. My dream is to travel the world once I graduate from college because I have always been interested in different cultures. I love snow and tubing though I've never skied before, but winter is my favorite season because I love curling up beside the fire with a good book.

Favorite Books: The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd, To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee, Night by Elie Wiesel, Dear John by Nicholas Sparks, The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini

Favorite Movies: The Notebook, Billy Elliot, Grease, Transformers, A Walk To Remember, Slumdog Millionaire, Step Up, Step Up 2

Favorite Music: I enjoy classical and jazz artists, but these are my favorites...The Beatles, Ben Folds Five, Coldplay, Dashboard Confessional, Dave Matthews Band, Death Cab For Cutie, Jack Johnson, The Killers, Muse, The Postal Service, Radiohead, Relient K, Stellastarr, Switchfoot, Third Eye Blind, Travis

Favorite Shows: America's Next Best Dance Crew, Lincoln Heights, Glee, Greek, The O.C., One Tree Hill, Scrubs, So You Think You Can Dance

What I love most is when people review my stories. I think the only reason I even have a fictionpress account is so that people can criticize my works and make them better. I am not offended by people calling my stories cliches because most of the time my own life is a cliche :) But those who read and don't review aren't helping anyone. Fictionpress was created to help aspiring writers, and I will review every piece of literature that I read on this site. If you are reading my stories, please let me know what you think about them by reviewing!

My Stories:

Everything in my life is very important to me, including my grades and my music and my performing and my art. So I apologize beforehand if it takes me a very long time to update my stories. I have many other things to do in life as I'm sure all of you do and I find myself very busy sometimes. Just let me know that you are waiting for another chapter and I will do my best to comply. I will shift in genre every now and then but right now I am really into romance stories. Please enjoy my stories! The following may not be completed.

Completed:

None.
