ABOUT ME

Age: 29, Birthday: 1/31

Though Renesmee "Nessie" isn't my favorite character in Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series, I like to believe I share her power, to an extent. Nessie can show people her thoughts and memories. I love to communicate my thoughts and feelings through writing and performance, and I believe I do so pretty well.

Check out my YouTube channel as well. Search: CDGPhoenix (that will bring up the link to my channel, though I simply go by CDG on YT now). You'll recognize me by the same pic I use here.

I love writing, dancing, acting, singing, going on long walks, watching movies, reading, browsing YouTube ("Cat vs Printer - The Translation" by Chris Cohen never gets old), and playing video games. Unfortunately, I've fallen very ill (as of October 2013). I'm in too much pain to enjoy all those hobbies as much as I did before this illness took over. It's a blessing and a curse. I'm unemployed now and living with family, and I spend most of my days in bed or resting on the couch, but now that I have so much free time, I've been able to return to my writing. Progress is slow, due to my pain and weakness, but I'm finishing my long-neglected stories now. I only hope my once faithful readers will all come back to me. A nice review or PM always makes me feel a little better and puts a smile on my face. Pain and illness aside, waking up to a full inbox reminds me I'm still doing something meaningful.

As a reader on this site, I review fairly often (if I don't login, I use my initials: CDG), but I don't Favorite easily. I mean it. Serious kudos if I Favorite one of your stories.

Quirky physical feature: My eyes change color. They are green, blue, gray, and rarely a muddy shade of brown. Sometimes all the different colors show at once, sometimes one color holds dominance. The color changes according to colors I'm wearing and my mood, it seems. They always turn green when I cry.

NEWS AND UPDATES

11/9/2018: In short, I screwed up. Yes, various medical problems have prevented me form getting much of anything done these past few years, but I've also been suffering from delusions of grandeur and bouts of imposter syndrome in turn. I've gone far too long without updating my most popular fics due to pain and deep depression, yes, but also because I sabotaged myself from the start without realizing it. My biggest mistake: Making Children of Saturn too long. I planned to make Children of Saturn an epic trilogy, but since I started writing the second installment, I suffered from one bout of writer's block after another; my outline for the trilogy stretched the story too thin, and I couldn't produce enough filler. We all know what happens when books, shows, and movies add sequels they don't need. Im going for quality over quantity, so Children of Saturn will now be divided into only two parts, not a trilogy, and part 2 will be half the length of part 1. I will be modifying the titles to simply Children of Saturn: Part 1 and Children of Saturn: Part 2. I will also edit PS I Love You and Harry Potter and the Garus Glitch a little, not nearly as much, but enough to give this writer's block the boot so I can finally finish my WIPs. I will eventually go back and edit all the above stories for technical errors as well; a couple readers called my attention to my excessive use of commas, and wow... that's embarrassing. Please ignore those technical flaws for now, as I need to focus on completing my work before I let myself obsess over every little error. Content first. Comma purging second.

FANFIC SOUNDTRACKS

Only long soundtracks will be listed here. One-shots and other short fics with one or two "theme songs" won't be listed. Soundtracks are listed in alphabetical order. Song numbers match chapter numbers, so you can look to the soundtracks for musical previews of chapters to come in WIP fics. :)
