Do you think I’ll ever get better at this? That my heart might someday stop trying to jump out of my chest whenever you touch me?
Bella Swan, New Moon, Chapter 1, p.16

So I've just joined and I wanted to let you all know a little bit about me.

When I first read Twilight it changed my life. Not only did the content speak to me, but it was so brilliantly written. It made me wish for something better. It made me look at my own dull life and realise that i was the only person who could possibly make it better. It made me want to be a writer.

Some people just sit and daydream. But I dont just daydream. I live my daydreams. Whenever I sit down to write I am within the story. I feel it. It is as though I am there. And so, while my ordinary life remains mundane, my fantasy life takes me to new places.

The only limits are my imagination. As far as I can tell there are no limits to my imagination. So within my imagination I experience a kind of freedom which makes me soar.

I love to write and dedicate hours every week to it. I hope that one day someone will love to read my stories as much as I love to write them.

My life and writing at the moment

My current obsession is prom. I am excited by the romance of it.

Twlight was the first portrayal that I had read in which a prom was romantic. In reality they are so often about dancing suggestivley and getting a hotel room. Edward was a real gentleman.

I have been writing a lot of stories about Prom. As part of this I've been imagining the kind of prom dresses that my characters will wear. Most importantly I've been choosing my the lead's prom dress. I've taken hours over this because its so central to the story. The entrance has to be special and the prom dress has to draw gaps of amazement.

I have chosen these prom dresses

I definitley want black and I like them both.

I think I prefer Amelia and I'm thinking of naming my lead character after it.

I think it might be a good few weeks before this story is perfect but it'll be worth it
