i'm 17 years old and a senior in high school. i love to read so much my bedroom looks like a library exploded inside. although i love to read, drawing is something i'm working at. i want to be a hair stylist or a Make-up artist.

if you want me to write more stories, i need some reviews. reviews are how i get better as a writer and i'd apreiciate it if you'd help. Thank you

Some conclusions I've drawn from reading fanfiction:

1) Any time a summary says "Better than it sounds!" it isn't.

2) Any time a summary says "First fic, please be gentle!" it's because the writer, deep inside, knows it's not very good.

3) Any summary starting with "What if. . ." describes a story that is mediocre at best.

4) Any author that posts a new chapter that consists of an apology that a new chapter isn't ready yet, deserves to be flogged with a wet noodle.

5) Any author that promises to never abandon a(ny) story, and then does, should be covered in honey and feathers.

6) Any author that feels the need to label a flashback as FLASHBACK, desperately needs to work on their writing skills. If it's not obvious, then there's a problem.

7) Any author that feels the need to insert author's notes in the middle of their chapter to explain or excuse things, should have to wear a sign saying "Look at me! I want to be an author when I grow up!" because they obviously crave attention.

8) If the author can't be bothered to spell-check the summary, then the story will be so filled with bad spelling, grammar, and punctuation that you'll want to stab yourself in the eyes with a sharpened pencil.

9) Authors who feel the need to "update" Harry Potter by using netspeak (e.g. LOL, N-E-Way) and its ilk have completely missed the feel and characterization of Harry and his friends.

10) Authors who can't even capitalize the name of their story correctly have a better-than-average chance of writing just as poorly.

11) All general statements have exceptions.

Some of my favorite quotes:

1. 1+1=3. That is the power of Magic!

2. Whoever said nothings impossible never tried nailing jello to a tree.

3. “There's no half-singing in the shower, you're either a rock star or an opera diva.”

4. “I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.”

5. “I just broke up with someone and the last thing she said to me was "You'll never find anyone like me again!" I'm thinking, "I should hope not! If I don't want you, why would I want someone like you."”

6. “I am so clever that sometimes I don't understand a single word of what I am saying.”

7. “Everyone has a photographic memory. Some just don't have film.”

8. Everyone should have kids. They are the greatest joy in the world. But they are also terrorists. You'll realize this as soon as they are born, and they start using sleep deprivation to break you.

9. Kids. They're not easy. But there has to be some penalty for sex.

10. When a man brings his wife flowers for no reason, there's a reason.

11. I am ready to meet my Maker. Whether my Maker is prepared for the ordeal of meeting me is another matter entirely.

12. There's a reason that God made men first. Every perfect and beautiful thing needed a rough draft. ;)

13. Behind every great man there is a woman rolling her eyes.
