My real name is actually pretty far from Natalie.  It's not that I don't like my name, I just don't want a bunch of people whom I don't know on the internet to know it, nor do I want anyone I really do know to know this is me.  I just like having a completely different identity.  It's kind of cool.
Anywho, I'm thirteen years old and I started writing about last year, though I didn't actually do that much of it until recently.  I'm excessively passionate about music, obsessed with writing and reading, though for some reason I'm not all that interested in visual arts, although I'm pretty good at analyzing it.  I spend probably 20% of my time writing, 20% reading, and 45% doing schoolwork, and the remaining 5% with my friends at church.
I know it sounds like I don't have much of a life and, honestly, um, I sorta don't.  It's as simple as that.  Then, on the other hand, my life is spent flying over Colorado Mountains with Maximum Ride and the flock, watching vampires play baseball, listening to Simon's friend's awful poems with earplugs in place beside Clary and Jace, discovering spells that cause toe fungus on Crabb and Goyle, and hanging with Percy, Annabeth, and Grover at Camp Half-Blood while drinking blue cherry cola.  You could say that I have no life, but personally, I think it's pretty colorful... By the way, don't panic if I start jumping off of buildings; I'm just imagining that I have wings.
I truly am insane, but really, there's no fun in being normal.

Anyway, I usually try to see the bright side of things.  When it comes to my criticism, I'll be honest, but I'll try to soften it up so that I get the point across without being too mean or blunt (or I'll try not to).
But when You critisize me, I want to hear everything you have to say.  Anything good, that's great, write it down.  Anything bad, even better!  If you really hate it and have a lot of things to say to me, c'mon!  Spill it!  If it can help me grow as a writer, I want to hear it all.  If I don't change anything, I'll probably tell you my side of things so that you understand why.
