So the stuff I've writen about are mainly books, my writing, and my personal life. (in that order) You don't have to read it all.. but if you've clicked to read this.. you must care so go ahead... I really don't care. Oh, and I appologize for any spelling mistakes.. it's almost 11 here and I'm tired.

As you may or may not know, I love to write. A major reason for this, is that i love a good book. Over this summer so far.. about two or three weeks, I have read a few books.
They are:
The Seance, by Joan Lowery Nixon
Everlost, by Neal Shusterman
Song of the Sparrow, by Lisa Ann Sandell
Ask me No Questions, by Marina Budhos
God Went to Beauty School, by Cynthia Rylant
And I'm about to finish: Eager, by Helen Fox
God went to beauty school and song of the sparrow were written in verse, and short reads.
God went to beauty school was very though provoking on religon.. (Christianity to be exact)
Song of the Sparrow really made you think about life lessons, emotions, and who to trust and who not to trust.
The Seance was the scariest of them all, as it invoved two and ALMOST three murders.
Ask me No Questions really made you think about the terrorist attacks and the way immigrants were now treated. It showed how much family really meant.
Everlost was... very deep. I can't even begin to describe how much it moved me. I've never really thought about a world any different then the one I live in.. but after reading Everlost.. I really thought about life. It's the story of a few different children that get stuck between "where they're going" as in Heaven or Hell. They get side tracked and are stuck in the middle of existance and non-existance. You get a feel for what it'd be like to be a ghost and how it'd feel to feel isolated. The entire book mainly revolves around a world full of children.. but some of the children had been around so long they sounded like adults. They also acted like adults. It was an amazing book. By far the best I've read since Twilight (which is still my fav.. sorry!!)
So there are some great reads. I'm going to finish Eager soon and go back to the library and read a bunch more. I still have to read Ironside which I bought a while ago. (It's part of a Holly Black series) Holly Black, Stephenie Meyer, and Avi are my favorite authors so far..

Soo.... yeah that's all of my rant on books I've read. Now it's time to rant about my writing!! I found a website.. FictionPress to be exact (
[link] ) I got an account, made a few reviews of other peoples stories.. and after waiting 2 days, submited my story. It's lame. Sorry. Deal with it. I am trying to work on it, but I can't get MY stories out as well as fanfictions. If you know of any books about fiction writing that are easy to read and NOT BORING. Please tell meee! I need help with this. My stories here:
[link]Oh and I've decided to keep my two account seperate. If you'd like to know what my poetry one is, go for it and ask. I'll send you a link. I'd rather not 'advertise' myself on this journal though. If someone's really interested, they can ask.

I don't really have any updates about my summer actually. So far it's been.. dA, writing, photography, NO school, hurting myself at colorguard, and trying not to fight/be pissed at my friends. Some of them need to stop calling me dumb. I never try and use this, but I skipped two grades of math. I am decently intellegent. Shut up. Someday, you will of said "You're stupid" one too many times and I'll snap at you. That has not occured yet, but I assure you, it will not be pretty and I will probably not be your friend afterward. Just a little warning..
So that's it I guess. Cya guys later. Comment if you want the other account sn or to ask/help me with book ideas. I'm usually here.. so go ahead and talk to me =] I don't even care if we're friends on dA or not.
