Hobbies: When I'm not working I love to write. I also have two little dogs who are my babies! I'm often found running along the beach throwing sticks or lost in the world of my iPod

Writing: I enjoy writing both stories and poetry and write about whatever comes to mind. I tend to write a lot of things about real life, growing up, some may say sad and depressing. A lot of my work may seem slightly emo but it's just what I'm better at writing; not a real reflection of me as a person. Perhaps it is because of the work that I do, so it helps me express a lot of the sadness young people talk to me about. However, every so often I will try and sink my teeth into a completely different genre and give myself a challenge!

I've been told that brevity is the essence of my writings and I have to agree. I like to keep things simple!

I enjoy reading anything that makes me think. Challenges my views. Has a deep meaning hidden in there. I'm a deep thinker which is why I love the work I do so much. I enjoy reading anything that stirs emotions in me, whatever they may be.

    Hey!

    Thanks for the friendship! Wow, I love your page! The background is absolutely stunning. It's so beautiful!! I was reading your profile too. I LOVE Evanescence!! Amy Lee has the most awesome voice. I'll be sure and check out some more of your writing soon. I'm so tired tonight that after I finish this one story I already have pulled up I think I'll head to bed for a few hours.
