Hi guys,

I'm a teenage female from sunny Australia who enjoys writing, music, singing, sport and art. Although I'm not going to say my actual age, I am aged somewhere in the brackets of 15-20 years old.

I'm a bit of a scatterbrain and probably one of the most clumsiest people on this planet but I when I'm doing what I love, I find that I can achieve anything. I have been trained in singing for eleven years and I love to push my boundaries and discover different styles and techniques. I'm in a well known choir and have had many amazing opportunities in my life including performing for social and political dignitaries, sports teams, international celebrities and touring the globe. I also love sport as much as I love singing but due to my other commitments (mainly choir) I cannot play any club sports. I used to play basketball for a few years but that was ages ago. I do however play inter school competitions and have been very successful in the volleyball squad, the soccer team, AFL (Australian Rules Football...best sport in the world!!!), hockey, rugby and rowing teams. I also like to go running, hiking and orienteering. I am definitely directionally challenged and always get lost especially when I have a map...

If I had a choice of living in the city or the country I would most definitely choose the city. I'm a people person and thrive on socialising and interaction even though I am a quiet and sometimes shy person. I guess I fear isolation, however I'm happy to just be by myself and do my own thing. I don't like making a big fuss of myself as I don't like attention but when I'm with my friends I like to make them laugh and be happy. Okay, so maybe I am the centre of attention but not intentionally...if that makes sense. I make myself the centre of attention to make others happy. My favourite colour is green, I'm not into the 'girly' colours like pink and purple and I prefer cool colours over warm colours. I don't have a favourite food, just favourite flavours but I try to keep as healthy and balanced as I can.

I have five cats who are my whole world, they love me for who I am and keep me company whenever I need it. I don't care if people think they're just animals, the are my babies and I love them to bits. I love all animals but detest any kind of bug, reptile or spider. I have two older brothers who sometimes make life difficult but are top guys, even though we fall out. Heaps. I'm really close to my brothers and couldn't imagine life without them. I've never really wanted a sister and as I'm a bit of a tomboy myself I grew up with cricket, footy, military, action movies, cars and dirt. I guess that's influenced who I am today and who I want to be as I aim to be in a career that's hands on and out in the community getting some action.

I try to incorporate things that have happened to me in my fanfictions as I believe that it gives the story a more realistic quality and approach. I don't generally write about things that I don't know about or have had no experience with as I don't know if what I'm writing is correct or realistic. My whole approach is on realism as it makes me cringe when I read stories that sound absolutely unbelievable. Fanfiction is a service and I like to provide the best literary quality that I can, as that is what I expect when I read someone else's work. I don't write about things like cancer or terminal illnesses as there's just way too much research involved and it doesn't appeal to me to read or write a sad story. I do however use a tad of poetic licence as that's what makes stories exciting.

I guess writing makes me feel better about my life and myself, not that I have low self-esteem or anything like that. When things annoy me or I get angry and upset (or even if I'm happy) I just pick up a pen and start writing. I love that I can control what happens in my imagination and the characters lives as it helps me to understand not necessarily how to control my own life as that's nearly impossible, but how to deal with situations and vent my emotions. Writing is also important to me as its a means of achieving something without judgement from people that you know. That sounds ridiculous I know, but if you think about it, no one here really knows who you are and I kind of like that. Sure we give criticism and advice but being slightly anonymous doesn't make it personal.
