: About Me

I am a very hard working student, I am in 9th grade this year, I have strong ambitions, and I hope to become a real author someday. My main focus in writing is fiction stories, I have written a few, and I'm in the process of writing one right now. I also enjoy poetry, but it's not really my "thing". I love reading nearly as much as writing, so I try to keep my stories engaging, so people my age would someday (hopefully) like reading them. I haven't been writing for too long, but I've discovered that I really love it. I will write on anything, from virtual "paper" to regular stationary to napkins, with anything, but preferably my favorite blue pen.

I have just recovered from a long battle with anorexia nervosa, so i haven't gotten the chance to write anything in a long time. My hands are itching to do it!

My passion is ...

helping people, family, and friends with their troubles; taking care of my cat; writing; and working hard to finish my education.

I know too much about ...

Nothing, you can never know too much

My parents always told me ...

"Be yourself"

My childhood ambition ...

is to become a psychiatrist

Why I write ...

because I can express my feelings and emotions freely in writing, as well as provide entertainment for others

My inspiration ...

comes from anywhere and anything, give me paper and pen and you might get a masterpiece! (well, not quiet)

After a long battle with leukemia had finally given in. And so it was decided. I was to spend this Thanksgiving - his last - at home. It was only when the plane landed that i began to feel the butterflies in my stomach. My sister, who lived just across the border, in Washington, was bringing her newest boyfriend for the holidays...
