Well, I may just be a beginer in the hopes of becoming a published writer, but I am full of ideas. I come from a family that has a history in the printing and writing industry, or so I'm told. I have an uncle that managed to get a book published, although I still don't know how.

I have some doubts in my writing abilities, mainly that come from my family saying I'm crazy for trying to become a published writer, but that will make it ten times better if I do get published.

As a child I never liked to write. I've always disliked someone telling me what I shoud be writing about instead of what I wanted to be writing about. With the help and understanding of a few very special teachers, I learned how to love writing and express myself through my words. My teachers also let me have as much time as I needed to be as creative as I could, instead of just putting some words together to form a meaningless sentence.

I have stange beliefs and think outside the box. I've always had the ability to sit in the dark with a piece of paper and pencil and just write, without even knowing I was doing it. Granted, I normally wrote poetry when I did this, but for being 13 at the time, my writing wasn't all that bad. I, for some reason, seem to write my best at night, maybe because the world seems more peaceful, although I'm not sure exactly why.

Most of my family would describe me as a very boring, serious person. The serious part I understand, not the boring part though. Someone once said that "being bored" is not something you are, it's something you do, which I believe to be true. I may be a little too serious for my age, but at least I enjoy my life and believe in myself, that's what really matters.

Feel free to send me an email or instant message if you want to know anything more. I'm usually on around nightfall, sometimes during the day, depending on what I feel like doing. I just take each day a step at a time.

Interests: Reading, writing, playing on the computer, watching baseball, crafting, rollerblading and spending time with my cats.
