About me:
I'm a student at Spring Grove Senior High, I love to write. I also love to read, play games, and hang out with all of my friends. I think writing while I'm still young is a great idea because I can forget about the worries of time and money much more than i could if I was an adult with a full-time job, although I'm sure I could find a way. Playing games really inspires my creative side, because while playing, or even while I'm reading sometimes, I like to say "what if" a lot. Although I love to read, sometimes I feel like I have to write something better. Some say that is selfish, I prefer to say that it is great motivation. If you'd like to know more about me just send me a message.
My claim to fame: I don't really have a claim to fame, i've written for a couple local bands, i'm just finally sitting down to try and live a dream to write a successful novel.

What I like to read:

Fiction: Sci Fi/Fantasy
Favorite books:
Eregon, Eldest, Brisingr, The Black Tattoo, The Cirque Du Freake, The Ruins of Gorlan, Romeo and Juliet, The Illiad, The Odyssey, Treasure Island, The series of "Perseus Jackson and the Olympians"
What I'm reading now:
Here There Be Dragons, Viking Warrior
Favorite place to read:
In my bedroom, i accomplish alot there, but i also enjoy to read during raging storms with only a candle to light the pages, it adds alot of feeling to your reading, you should try it sometime.
My other writing:
I'm currently working on two pieces. One of them is a project here on WeBook and another will soon be started. The first is titled Meruul, and it is a medieval fantasy. My other remains untitled, but it is a modern-day fiction combined with a completely fantasy dimension. I hope to be writing for a long time, because if i finish soon, it definitely won't be a work of pride.
