Greetings.

It always made me laugh when I read on a profile, “How can I describe myself in such limited space?”

The space on here is endless. How can it be too little?

But, that’s what you think when you’re reading. Writing is different. It’s when you see that it’s impossible to describe yourself. Regardless of how much space you are given.

And yet we try.

My name is Torey. There are three things I live by:

-There is no wrong answer
-Life is just as real as it is fiction
-It is never too late

I believe in those three things with all my heart, and it’s hard for me to believe in much. I don’t say that in any depressed way. The best way to explain what I mean is by refering to the first two rules. That is how I am right now. I've stopped trying to fight that.

As have most people in the world, in my life I have seen bad things and I have seen wonderful things, and it is those things that have shaped me into the human being I am today. I am not finished evolving in life and, being only sixteen now, I can’t help but wonder who I’ll be in the future.

In case you didn’t know, writing is my life. I am a novelist at heart, and nothing will ever be able to change that. To write is to live. Enough said.

I am a very honest person, or I try to be. When I comment, I am not a mean person. I say what I think, and if you don’t like it then ignore it. I am just trying to help you. If my comment is short and nice, it means I couldn’t think of anything for you to improve on, so congrats.

I am sickeningly polite because I was trained to be from the time I was old enough to talk. So if I use my manners, I’m not trying to suck up or be sarcastic or anything. It’s just how I am, and it’s not something I will sacrifice to please anyone.

My cousins are like my babies. I love them each in a different way. I have my imaginative Macie (12), my headstrong Kalyn(10), my motherly Mattison(8), and my strong James(6). Those four are in New York, and I only get to see them once a year.

My other ones, who live nearby, are Liam(4) and Violet(1). I babysit them almost everyday, and I can honestly say my little Liam saved my life as I know it. It was he that got me through the worst times I’ve had, and I’ll never ever forget that. He’s my little one and my love. Violet wasn’t alive at that point, but I still care about her very much as well. I don’t want her to feel over shadowed by her brother.

That’s all that’s really important. I would say something personal, but my heart sealed itself from others a long time ago. Only my best friend in the world knows the real me… well, as much of me as I know, and she lives halfway across the country. But, if you want to get to know me, please greet me. I’m a pretty friendly person.

  • Happy New Year!
    A decade passed. 1 I remember the year it turned to 2000. I was about 7 years old, I think that was the year I spent in Maine. I couldn't keep my eyes open. I remember being woken up for the new year to come. 2 So much has changed since then. The year 2010 was in the distant past, not something a little kid

  • Pooky.bear : Names on February 2
    You spelt my name Wrong.Kalyn,not Kayln. -BabyK
  • dreamybanana : Hey on January 10
    I hate to ask, but I edited my fist chapter and was wondering if you had time to reread it. I just want to know if it's any better or not (you don't have to post as much help as you did the first time) Well, thx either way.
  • dreamybanana : Thx for the review on January 9
    Thx so much that's brilliant! Exacty what I needed with some really helpful points for me to think over, although I don't agree with some of the things you've pointed out. One thing is this spelling:
    Organised = Organized
    I'm from the UK I'm guessing your not, but that's how we spell it over here, hehe.
    I'll edit it now. Some things like the line about the rain haven't sounded right from the begining but I could have never figured out what was wrong without you.

    She said in a teasing voice - you know what's really annoying? Some people say they hate it when people use said in that way, and think people should use just teasing etc. It's impossible to do what everybody wants, although I do agree that there is too much discription on how they say dialogue.
    He told her, demand in his dark eyes - That's a beautiful line, I'll try to do that.

    Thx for this. I'll try to return the favour when I don't feel so tired. Anything in particular you would want me to read?
