"Music is love in search of a word" -- my favorite quote of all time

"I hide behind a mask; a mummer slips behind the face of a smiling girl, but I know, deep down, I can never be happy again" -- I wrote this quote when I was depressed ;)

"Why do I run when possible love comes forth? Why do I ask? I know. I know that as soon as I allow my heart to leave me, I can never get it back in one piece" -- another sad quote of mine!

About Me: I'm sixteen years old and I love to write (dur). My other interests are acting, singing, playing violin, editing/directing, photography, and photoshop. Uh...I look young for my age, I guess. Lots of people think I'm 12 or13 based on my height...I'm really short for my age lol. Adults say I should be happy and I'll appreciate it, but...right now it pretty much sucks! lol. I like high school, and I am in the honor choir. Uh...my ultimate dream is to someday star on Broadway...or become a writer...whichever one I can achieve, I will be happy. My favorite subject in school in English (duh)...it is probably the only one I can do at all...I suck at math! But luckily this year I have completed all my math credits, so...no more math! YES!

My First Fanfic: I have only written one fan fiction in my life...this one, Las Palabras. I was introduced to this site by a friend and I decided what the heck? Why don't I write a fan fiction too? I'd like some of my stuff to be read and criticized. But I knew nothing about the nature of fan fictions, or what to write one about! I picked one of my favorite books, Inkheart, after much contemplation. I concocted a rough storyline, then I continued from there. It took me forever to come up with a name! I took Spanish the year I wrote it, and my teacher always told us to say "una palabra de vocabulario" (a vocabulary word)...I decided it might be cool if I gave my story a name from a different language...it kind of made it unique, I guess. "The Words" sounds dumb for a story title, but Las Palabras makes it sound ten times better!!! lol!

My Apology: I haven't read Inkheart or Inkspell in a while, and frankly, I don't have the time in my hectic schedule to do so again! lol! Soooo...Some things in my fanfiction might be slightly incorrect, or I may have gotten a term or two wrong. So, please, forgive me and tell me, and I will fix it!

My Thanks: So, that's about it, for this! Thanks for taking the time to read my profile, I hope it wasn't too boring! Please read and review my story...I worked really hard on it!
