![]() Author has written 3 stories for Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Misc. Books, and Thirteen Reasons Why. logolepsy (n.) an obsession with words ϟ My current thoughts on writing ϟ I am extremely critical of my own writing. I often hate my writing as soon as I begin writing so my perfectionism often hinders my attempts to write. I've been trying to write more but nothing has flowed lately. In English, we moved onto a new unit and I have realized it is a very important part of my writing that I need to work on. I wish I had more time to write but my inspiration comes in short bursts (11pm on a school night woo!) and my time to write is almost nonexistent between school (I'm taking an extra, online class this semester), soccer, and everything else associated with being a teenager. In the past, I have attempted to write longer, multi-chapter stories but I simply couldn't finish it. I will probably stick to oneshots for now but by no means am I writing on a daily basis. At this point in my life I really want to work on developing my writing and the quality of it because my goal is to write a novel, one day. “It was books that made me feel that perhaps I wasn't completely alone." Additional Information/Thoughts About My Stories Thirteen Reasons Why (Life is Worth Living) I read this book before I read it in school and I took my final novel project as a chance to write this story. It's probably the best thing I've written to date.Insanity I originally wrote this for school, in grade 9, because we read the novel Staying Fat For Sarah Byrnes in class. Through Hell and Back I wrote this a long time ago. Basically a quick Percabeth oneshot. I might edit this later and extend it. This is all the more important info so if you hate long-ish profiles then feel free to click hide bio and check out my stories! What I'm...

-Anonymous (found on tumblr) Just remember that sometimes, the way you think about a person isn't actually the way they are." -John Green "Who sees the human face correctly: the photographer, the mirror, or the painter?" -Pablo Picasso "I'd rather be around a passionate nerd than a non-passionate cool person. Because if you lack passion, your soul is diminishing by the second. You have to be passionate about something. Call it obsessed or whatever you want, but be obsessed about something. Obsessed people care. I'm passionate about so many things, it becomes an issue at certain points, but at least you have the ability to feel that much about something." -Matt Cohen "Everything will be okay in the end. If it's not okay, it's not the end." -Anonymous (found on tumblr) "I bet if we dusted her heart for fingerprints, we'd only find yours." -Rudy Francisco "If you do not breathe through writing, if you do not cry out in writing, or sing in writing, the don't write, because our culture has no use for it. The role of a writer is not to say what we all can say, but what we are unable to say." -Anais Nin 12 Facts About Me:
