Hey! I'm Winthrop (yes I'm a girl this is only my nickname) and I love to write. I play the flute and piccolo and I love to read LOTR also. I have new exciting news too! I just got a new open hole flute! Yay!!! I payed for it all with my own money and it came in seven days! That was quite a stretch for my patience, I can assure you! It is a Gemeinhardt and has a solid silver head joint with a silver plated body. It has been hardly used and it is so cool! I really like it, and with it I will get into Wind Ensamble next year (grr...)!! I really love to play my flute and have recently (since the arrival of my new flute) practiced a couple of hours a day. Sad, I know. :D I am a singer and a dancer and I love to perform in plays. I plan to join Musical Theatre in September because I love singing and dancing and acting, and doing all three at one time would be so awesome!! I am in love with horses, especially Friesians! My friend on here is lost_magic and her stories are really funny so you should read hers too. And Serpentfairy has a really interesting Harry Potter story, one of the best ones I've read on here, and I'm not just saying that! I apologize for my stories, they have little numbers where apostrophes and quotes should be and I don't know why that is, I'll try and fix it. I have written the second chapter of The Pirate Adventures, but Serpentfairy just hasn't posted it yet. The third chapter for The Pirate Adventures is also underway. Sorry it takes me so long to write, but I hope they are enjoyable for you. :D Okay, so anyway, please read and review both stories so I can get more ideas and insight as to how to improve my writing in the future. (I also like centuars. A lot!)

~*Favorite Things To Do*~

~*Pet Peeves*~

People chewing loudly and or with their mouth open

Snobby people

Being asked to do a task from someone who can easily, with a little effort, do it all by themselves

Doing more chores than my two siblings (Grrr!!)

People coming in my room when the door is shut

People interrupting me when I'm reading

Forgetting things or losing things when I knew what I was going to do right before (like now for instance!)

(Yay! I just remembered!) When friends are not loyal (All of my friends are loyal though. Yay! I love you guys!)

Doing any kind of math, at any time, for any reason (okay, for almost any reason)

When my little sister is being crabby, and gets mad at me at the drop of a hat

When I am blamed for things I have not done

When people say I'm perfect or an overachiever or anything in that catagory because I'M NOT! So there!

When I am copied. I still don't like it even if someone gives me credit. But I can bear it if that happens. It's just better not to copy me at all. :D

Okay! Well now that you know some things about me, please read and review my two stories. It is very important that you read both if you read one because I have the best idea ever! I am going to start combining the two stories, so that they tell the same story. The Shifting Coin will be from Kaleigh's point of view and The Pirate Adventure will be from Amy's point of view. The story will be the same, just told from different sides. So it is really important you know each character's history before I meld them into one. It's going to be really cool, and I'm going to alternate writing one chapter from each story. Just one serious warning, if I EVER see anyone copying it, or any of my other ideas, I will seriously report you and you will never come onto this site again!! Okay, anyway, please read on and I hope you enjoy my stories and have an awesome day! :D
