So... I guess that up there, isn't enough for you? You want to know more? Well here you go....
I have a rather boring life really... but, hey, you asked for it....
Well, I'll guess I'll start off by stating the obvious... I love to write. I've been writing since I was fourteen (it all started with a Harry Potter fan fiction... go figure). Me and my two friends had this grand idea to write some fan fiction, but they wanted to write a Lord of the Rings one and I wanted to write Harry Potter, so they wrote theirs and I wrote mine... needless to say, they stopped after a week or two, but I kept going because I honestly, really enjoyed it. A few kids from school started reading it and they liked it, and so Sarah the Writer was born! Though, I can't even rewrite that fan fiction because every time I look at it I cringe at the amount of errors and such that are strewn about it, but I'm still proud of it because it was the piece of my work that got me into writing in the first place.
My story ideas really just come from my own head, I kind of have an overactive imagination, though I can't create anything as intricate and amazing as the whole world of Harry Potter like J.K. Rowling, but I can definitely come up with interesting plot lines that many people on fictionpress seem to enjoy. I would honestly love to be a published author one day, and my goal is to have at least one book published before I graduate college. That's why I need all the constructive criticism I can get! Don't be afraid to point out errors in my stories, I won't get angry about it, as long as you're nice about it. I would really like to make writing my career, but I know that most authors aren't famous or as well known as J.K. Rowling, that's why I'm in school now... studying so, just in case I am unable to achieve my goal I will still be able to find another job, a job that I know I'll like just as much as being an author.
That not enough for you? Well, here's some more...
I was born and raised in the south. Though, I don't have a real southern accent, nor do I really talk like one, though, sometimes I do... I also really don't like some of the food that the south is famous for... my friend has gone so far as to tell me that I am not a southern girl just because I don't like grits (and with good reasons; they taste tasteless and disgusting)! I'm still very proud of this place that I have spent my entire life in. Interesting fact about my heritage: I am half German, half Walsh. and I am distantly related to Kaiser Wilhelm of Germany on my mother's side (yes, the same guy that started World War I).
I, honestly, can not wait to get out and see the world!! I've only been out of the country three times. And I really want to do study abroad before I graduate. Though, they always offer the stupidest classes... I do not want to go all the way over to England just to study American Government or Literature! I want to go over to Europe and study their history... though, that's probably just the History major in me speaking... but there are quite a few people who happen to agree with me and they aren't History majors.
I'm very shy and quiet at first glance. Many people who don't know me very well, might think of me as the girl with no life who just goes to class and does homework and never does anything fun. Well, those people are wrong.... very wrong, I know how to have fun, just in a nice, clean way... I'm a pretty loud once you get to know me, I talk a lot around those that know me personally... I can go on and on... I also have a tendency to change the subject at random, one minute I'll be talking about the weather, the next... I'll be talking about homework or something that happened in one of my classes that day.
I'm a nice person, really... I like to see the good in everyone and I hate hurting people's feelings... I'm a passive at heart and would never start a verbal or physical fight with someone. I also don't curse very much, I mean I do on occasion, but you won't hear me blurting a curse word out every other word. And I don't ever say the word 'fuck', I believe it to be the most horrible word in the English language. And it's not really because of my upbringing I'm like that, it's honestly, just because I personally believe that cursing should be kept to when you are really angry about something, though I know I probably portray a different view in my stories.
I don't judge on appearance alone, I believe that there are far more important qualities in people. Like intelligence, sense of humor, and basically just personality in general. I have discovered that the best looking people are also the most shallow and arrogant of them all... that's why if I find someone attractive on the outside, I always try to get to know them before I decide whether I truly "like" them or not. Though, I really hate fake people... girls who wear too much make-up really piss me off, to me that is an example of major shallowness. Why can't people (mainly girls) just appreciate the way God made them? Why do they have to go and cover up everything that is not "perfect" in their eyes? I mean, a little make-up isn't that bad, because I wear a little myself, just some foundation and blush, and mascara on occasions. But, honestly, some of these girls I see on campus look so FAKE with all that crap caked all over their face. The whole point of make-up is not to cover-up or slather on fifty layers of the stuff! I can honestly say that I believe the reason so many girls wear make-up is because guys are so shallow, that we girls have no other choice... at least that seems to be the case where I live.
Well, that's about it... if there's any thing else you'd like to know... feel free to ask through email, review or the guest book!
