"If you are a dreamer, come in,
If you are a dreamer, a wisheer, a liar,
A hope-er, a pray-er, a magic bean buyer...
If you're a pretender, come sit by my fire
For we have some flax-golden tales to spin.
Come in!
Come in!" -Shel Silverstein

"Ideas are the Foundation of Dreams, and dreams and the foundation of life." -Me

"When I was a young boy, they called me a liar. Now, they call me a writer."

So, my name is Dani, I'm from Texas and proud to call this lovely state my home. I'm twenty years old, graduated from highschool in 2011, and I graduated from AIH in June 2014. I've been an avid reader since the age of four and I've been making up stories for as long as I can remember. I love to write, I just don't have much time for it lately. If you have any questions or comments about my fics feel free to send me a PM. I'll get back to you ASAP!

"Listen to the MUSTN'TS, child,
Listen to the DON'TS
Listen to the SHOULDN'TS
The IMPOSSIBLES, the WON'TS
Listen to the NEVER HAVES
Then listen close to me-
Anything can happen, child,
ANYTHING can be." -Shel Silverstein
