My vampire story is going to be a total scrap and re-do. Twilight kind of killed vampires for me... On top of that, going back and reading it years later made me realize how poorly it was developed and written. I plan to use the same basic plot with less of the needless romance, and less of a focus on vampires. It may never happen though; I'm more focused on my new work-in-progress.

So about me...I started writing in 7th grade. It was originally just a way to vent and most of the stuff I wrote was quite dark and not very good. I started actually caring about my writing freshman year of high school. That's when I started writing just to write and express my creativity, rather than just letting out emotions. I started with my poem The Moon, which I wrote as a class assignment for our Romeo & Juliet unit in English. I also wrote a vignette about my dog Rocco who died that year. I had read it out loud in class and got a great response to it. Since then, I've worked on a little poetry, but mostly enjoy writing short stories.

I tend to go through phases with my writing, where I won't touch it for years and then all of a sudden get back into it. As a result, I've started polishing up some of my old stuff that I've rediscovered.
