: About Me

About me? Ha ha, what a joke. This is the Internet; I could say I'm anybody in the world, and you wouldn't know the difference. However, I, for one, am planning on telling the truth. Not the whole truth, yet nothing but the truth. You may not believe me, and what do I care?
My name is Lauren. Last name not important. I've been obsessed with reading and writing ever since I learned how. I currently work at a pet store, and will be starting university shockingly soon. Some essay I wrote is being published by EL Publishers, which I only submitted to get a scholarship for, and that's why I'm suddenly wondering what else I've written is good enough to be published.

My best moment ...

My inspiration ...

That crazy old guy I met who had been a lawyer, then chucked it all and went into the woods to paint for twenty years. Truly inspiring.
