Let's see I should tell ya'll a little about me. My likes dislikes, stuff like that. I am first and foremost a mother of two. Ashley 11 and Allison 5. I am secondly a writer at heart. It is my passion. It is my ambition. My second chosen profession is web designer. I happen to have my own little website called Novice Writers. It is a forum based writing site. Which means that I have combined my two passions into one. Novice Writers is open to anyone interested in writing, reading, poetry, or artwork. We accept all members as long as you know how to loosen up and let your heads live in the clouds. Imagination is the key to happiness. And we are a happy lot. Shameless plug over. Now onto more about me.

I'd like to say that events in our lives don't always dictate what we are and who we become but I am case in point that that is not at all true. In 2002 I was in a horrendous car wreck that left me permanently disabled. My doctors at the time seriously doubted I'd ever walk again. Personally I thought that was bullshit and proceeded to prove them wrong. I do walk with a pronounced limp, have shrunk two inches(WTF!), and have one leg shorter than the other one. But that all said, I walk everyday just because I know I shouldn't be able to. *sticks tongue out at medical world* For a couple of years after the accident I suffered from extreme depression and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, but again have decided that that's just not who I want to be.

So who am I, you ask? Well I'm the person you meet who will never give in, never back down, fight for what I believe in, and above all, protect my friends and family with my very life. Am I bragging? *smirks* Probably a little bit but it is completly true and I'm tired of wasting time being modest. If I love someone they are the world to me. That includes those I love as family and those I love as friends, most of which I consider to be the same. My friends are my family too. There isn't much of a dividing line for me.

Who did I used to be? Unbelievably I used to be that quiet, shy girl, that stayed out of peoples way and didn't cause trouble whatsoever. What happened to her? She grew up and stopped being a little puss. No, she's still inside of me and at times you'll glimpse her in the blush of my cheeks or the nervous look I get in unfamiliar territory, but I keep her well hidden.

What I write ~ I mostly write fanfic and have written for the following fandoms : Supernatural, Charmed, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Pirates of the Caribbean, and Phantom of the Opera. I have written one songfic and attempted one poem. My poetry sucks big time though. I have also started a few original stories which may someday see the light of day. We shall see.

I mostly write about family and friendship but have recently been delving into slash, including the Wincest variety. All of my fics that contain any material not for all eyes will contain full warnings. If you don't like, don't read.

I also dabble in digital art and have created a few wallpapers, signatures, and icons, along with a couple of horrible fanvids.

My Mottos
~ Family don't end with blood!
~ What don't kill you can only make you stronger.
~ I would not be the person I am today if it were not for the mistakes that molded me.
~ What can I say, somedays you win, somedays you lose, others you get laid out flat like a pancake and just want to forget you exist.
