Hi I'm DreamingIn2Eternity!

My status notes:

16 OCT 16

Focusing on A State of Contradistinction right now. It has undergone some editing in earlier chapters and a new one was added today.

About Me:

I love reading, writing, playing(flute, piccolo, piano), dancing tap and ballet, dressing up (formally and for make-believe...yes you read that correctly), studying (no, I'm not kidding), painting, drawing, ceramics, nature, camping, taking pictures... the list goes on and on.

Dislikes: ignorance, people being inconsiderate to others, spelling, spiders, rush hour traffic

Some Random Stuff:

I don't watch a lot of TV, if I do I'm watching Naruto. I prefer to listen to and create music (usually I find new music I can listen to online), or paint, draw, read stories 'cough'-fanfiction-'cough' a.k.a anything from the above "likes" list!

I have been told I have the patience of a saint, although I'm sure my siblings would argue against that claim.

I *really* miss marching band. Seven years was not enough :(

I find playing the piano is very difficult compared to flute. I have trouble with my memory and I struggle with consistent placement of muscles and motions... stupid keys and different hand positions... grrr

Please take a look at my works, I really would like to become a better writer. If you could give/leave constructive criticism, I would REALLY appreciate it!

Thanks!

About my stories:

For many of my stories, I am focusing on or exercising a certain aspect of writing that I wish to improve upon. Unfortunately, this means that not all of my stories are my 100% best. I want to give a list of my goals for my stories, in hope that, should my readers wish to assist me in achieving my goals, they can do so:

In Progress:

1. A State of Contradistinction

Summary: Worlds collide when two brain injuries force the minds of two very different individuals to share one body. Stuck sharing his mind and body with a strange seventeen-year-old female, Zack Fair wants nothing more than to return to SOLDIER as functional and efficient as he had been before. It would seem, however, that the Goddess and Gaia have other plans...

Goals: Have fun and keep the narration clear!

Notes: This story is really a ton of fun to write :)

2. Dangerous Assumptions

Summary: Follow a classroom of high school students as they journey through middle earth, where things are in no way what they expected. The students quickly learn that not everything is as it seems, and their knowledge of Middle earth is dangerous knowledge indeed.

Goals: Focus on working with modern day characters and multiple (near 30) individual OC's. I want to develop the story enough so that none of the OC's are in the story for convenience.

Notes: none

3. Diary From a Father's Aching Heart

Summary: Thranduil's thoughts after his wife's passing to Valinor.

Goals: In depth character description and emotion from the character's point of view

Notes: none

4. Letters in Valinor

Summary: Thranduil and his wife communicate between letters while she resides in Valinor, and he in Middle Earth.

Goals: Light romance between characters and focus on the strain of the separation on the family.

Notes: none

5. Modern Me in Middle Earth

Summary: I have always loved reading stories of a girl falling into Middle Earth. However unrealistic, they have always been a joy to read. My name is Danielle, I am a 20 year old American, and yeah, somehow I have ended up in Middle Earth.

Goal: Keeping the story realistic for the main character and her thoughts, experience and reactions.

Notes: none

6. My First Diary

Summary: Little Legolas's first diary.

Goals: Focus on Legolas's character and experiences from the age of 50-100 (about 6 to 13 in human years).

Notes: none

7. Crystal Clear

Summary: Shisui's point of view of Itachi's life to Shisui's Death.

Goals: Record major life changing events in Itachi's and Shisui's lives. Focus on working the story from Shisui's point of view

Notes: Need to change the title

Completed:

1. Children of War

Summary: A short poem written from Shisui's point of view

Goals: To write a poem

Notes: Originally written without characters, but since I need to include characters to post they were added.

Some General Notes:

Below I have listed my estimation of elven age vs human age/years (this should help with some of the ages listed in my stories):

Human years are listed on the left, the elves 'age' is on the right

3,000=25

2,500=22

2,000=20

1,500=18

1,000=17

500=16

250=14ish

100=13

50=6.5

25=3.25

12.5=1.125

6=1

After 2000, I think that the elves most drastic changes in age and appearance slows/stops by then in this timeline. The timeline Tolkien has given (reaching majority by age 50) seems to be way, way too short for an *immortal* creature, so yeah, artistic license...

Thanks in advance if you have read (and especially if you have reviewed) any of my works! I really do appreciate anything you have to offer to my story and I DO MAKE CHANGES in my stories BECAUSE OF REVIEWS! If you leave a review with some form of criticism, and I feel the advice is relevant to my goals for the story I will make a change.

Best Wishes!
