Asher-lee

Long ago, when senior year was but a dream to me, I wrote stories for myself. They were nice, but nothing amazing. But the important thing was that I was happy with them and it was then that I could sit down before a blank Word Document and allow the words to flow freely from my mind; now I sit and stare at my keyboard searching for the right word or the perfect metaphor. Days passed and my mind still seemed so caught up in trying to be perfect that I lost touch with why I really began writing in the first place.
I'm trying desperately now to return to those days when I could write because I wanted to and not because I felt like I had to. That and I need to cease my senseless comparisons. I'm never going to write as well as Shakespeare or Dante or any of the other talented writers I come across. I have to tell myself that there's something special about my own writing that makes it memorable or unique or whatever.

Now that all that crap is off my chest, (insert big smiley face) hi. I'm Ashley but you can call me Asher-lee if you would like. I'm a senior in high school; go class of 2010!I'm a stickler for grammar so I try my best to have as little errors as possible in my stories. I like a lot of authors and all for different reasons; I'm not even going to bother naming some of them. Rise Against is my favorite band of all time. Science is my favorite subject in the world. I run on coffee, Starbucks is preferred but 7-eleven coffee is pretty damn good as well. And, yeah, I'll stop throwing useless information about myself at you now! ♥
