Ok so about my life, i'm a 19 year old college student living in alaska. I live at home with my family who consist of my parents and three younger brothers. I love reading, writing, skiing, running, biking, hanging out with my friends, and watching tv. I also like camping and hiking, pretty much anything outdoors...and well I pretty much love anything indoors too. I've been playing the piano off and on for about 10 years now and i love it. I'm easy to please, it doesn't matter what you do, but with the people you do it right? Anyways, i'm pretty quiet usually so i don't have many friends....by not many I mean one. But I'm happy with that. Regardless of my quiet and shy nature I love people and once I know someone I am so chatty. I actually love talking.

So about my writing habits... i have been writing just for fun since I was 9. When I was 13 I got more serious into writing and wrote a 245 page novel and at 16 completed a 100 page novel. Unfortunately life caught up to me and I was too busy to write anything big but it wasn't all bad because I found a love for poetry and took a break from long stories to write many poems. recently I started writing longer stories again just to abandon them for other things. I think now I have found my passion. I love crime/murder mystery and since i am writing about a topic I'm totally obsessed with it's making the whole writing process so extremely exciting and i have made it 50 pages in. although i don't think I'm all that great of a writer, I love to do it. And hopefully by doing it often I improve a little more each time. I love critique! No one in my family is interested in reading or writing and neither is my best friend so that rules out anyone to read what I've written. And if they did, they would almost have an obligation to say they liked it, you know? And the harsher the critique the better....I hate it when people say, "Oh it was good. I liked it." Sure I love to hear it was liked but what am I supposed to do now? On the flip side I don't really want to burst into tears after reading the review either.

I've dabbled in writing many things and what i like to read and write depend on my current interests. And right now I am obsessed with mystery especially if there is murder or some sort of crime or conspiracy is involved. But that is just my extreme obsession, I also love fantasy, comedy, romance, adventure....well actually I love everything. Though I prefer not to read anything about extremely depressed characters that cut themselves or commit suicide in the end. I'm investing my emotions in the main character, if he/she dies, there better be an extremely good reason. And I suppose that's all!

If you read all that you deserve cookies.
