So it's a new year. I thought I'd share my resolutions, continuations, and goals.

Resolutions:
I am going to get committed to losing weight.
I am going to get a B in Human Anatomy for second semester.
I am going to get a B in Advanced World History.
I am going to do all my homework in my English classes both this year and next year.
I am going to be nicer to my brother and will not think to myself that I hate him because I really don't and it's just self-destructive for me to say that--even to myself.
Finish one of my babies (below).
Stop being a bitch!

Continuations:
I am going to stay a vegetarian (The first was my second anniversary!).
I am going to continue to walk my dogs everyday.
I am going to stay smoke free.
I am going to keep on writing.
I am going to hang out in my favorite teacher's room at least one block a day.

Goals:
Put all my poetry on this website.
Lose a dress size by March (I'm going to a wedding).

I love storywrite. I think it's a great way for me to get inspired and get critique. I hold contests constantly. Usually I'll hold one and when that one is done I hold another. I think they are fun. Plus they are excellent outlets for critique so I'm usually lurking around looking for a suitable contest for a new piece. I always speak my mind about a piece so don't get too offended.

I'll tell you what. I've got some very interesting pieces of work going on, if I do say so myself.

First there's Too New To Know, which I might not continue. It's a story about a sixteen year old from America who has moved to Germany and the romance that is inspired there. Very cutesy.

Then, there's When Frankfurt Cried, which is about a German man and his French boyfriend and their struggles to defy the odds. Less cutesy. It's more serious than anything.

And then my new baby. I Broke My Own Heart: Confessions of a Part-Time Drag Queen. This one is about a twenty six year old named James, more commonly known as Skip. He is a recovering alcoholic who works at a bar and defies all odds by changing his world when some bashers break into his and his boyfriend's apartment, and ki--well, I don't want to give it away. I have big plans for this. Big plans. It's funny but has serious undertones. Kind of like my hair... This one is my comic relief.

I write a lot about same-sex couples. I can identify more with them. However, I can write about heterosexual couples. But the sexes of my characters shouldn't bother anyone, should it?

I am an agnostic American student with a mind and spirit of someone beyond her years. If you have a question or just want to drop in an say hi, you know what to do!

But anyway, I'm sixteen, I love music, poetry, books, theatre, and language. But I'm pretty easy to get along with.

    Hello dear writer...

    Having just read a comment you made to someone about your disregard for rhyming poetry, I felt I just HAD to stop by and say a word or two in its defence.

    If it is loved passionately by the one who creates it, rhyming poetry can be a joy to read. I would like to recommend a poet named EarthToJim on Allpoetry ~ please do spare the time to visit his page ~ and you will see what great things can be dedicated to rhyme:

    Happy writing!
