Tawnis• Show stories

Hello, I'm Tawnis. *waves exitedly at everyone*
A good friend of mine has been trying to get me to come join this site for a while, and now I'm glad I did.
I have been writing on and off pretty much all my life with varring degrees of sucsess, (Everything farther back then two years is mostly epic fail) but I've always loved it. It feels good to be a part of a site with so many good authors, I look forward to being able to improve my writing and help others with theirs.
So come one and all and take a step into my imagination!

I have decided recently for my new novel The Elementalist to have some chapters named after famous songs. So here is a list of my top 20 songs of all time which you MAY see as chapters in the future.
1. Where my heart will take me (Russel Bower)
2. What about love? (Meat Loaf)
3. 18 Till I die (Bryan Adams)
4. Raise a little hell (TROOPER)
5. Carry on wayward son (Kansas)
6. It's my life (Bon Jovi)
7. Cat's in the cradle (Ugly Kid Joe)
8. I don't wat to set the world on fire (The Ink Spots)
9. Lost highway (Bon Jovi)
10. Don't fear the reaper (Blue Oyster Cult)
11. For crying out loud (Meat Loaf)
12. Candle in the wind (Elton John)
13. Dark horse (Amanda Marshal)
14. I am (Bon Jovi)
15. Seasons in the sun (Studio 99)
16. Alive (Meat Loaf)
17. I would walk 500 miles (The Proclaimers)
18. Swining on a star (Micheal Kamen & Robert Kraft)
19. Streetcorner Symphony (Rob Thomas)
20. All summer long (Kid Rock)
Since they didn't make the cut but are still awsome songs I am adding three more.
21. Getting away with murder (Papa Roach)
22. Into the night (Santana)
23. The winner takes it all (ABBA)
And two more for sheer epic random awsomeness.
24: Stairway to heaven (Led Zeplin)
25: Bohemean rapsody (Queen)

Since this is a story site, I should probebly include my favorite novel as well.
