Name: Desiree or Dez for short

Age: 20

Birthday: December 15

Country: USA

Born and raised in New Jersey. I am a sophomore in college. I have always enjoyed writing whether it be for myself or someone else's amusement. I take pride in any story, poem, fanfiction that I write. I always welcome reviews, they help us overcome writers block or ensure us that are work is being read and liked. I write a lot of poems and that is how I tend to deal with my stress. I enjoy drawing, painting, and photography. I am typically soft-spoken and shy, but around the right people I can be obnoxiously boisterous. I am a great listener, and I give fairly decent advice, so I am open to anything anyone might want advice on or just an ear to talk to. I tend to look for the best in people and ignore the bad, but unfortunately it doesn't always happen that way. I try my best to be 'the nice girl' but again, doesn't always happen that way. I put a lot of effort into my writing and I hope y'all really enjoy it!

Here are the results for my OC contest for the story Just The Way You Are:

Katie's OC is going to be Elijah Kevin Monroe. Rights go to abby1234.

Logan's OC is going to be Emmaleigh Anne Johnston. Rights go to Runs with Werewolfs.

Carlos' OC is going to be Amaya Jenny Zaneti. Rights go to The Crazy Girl Next Door.

Also as one of Lorraine's best friends is Memory Liza Cruz. Rights go to BellaRosa17.

Congrats to you four. Don't fret if I didn't pick your OC for the story, I will eventually write one-shots for them. Thanks!

A/N 7-5-12: Wow it's been nearly a year since I updated. I am terribly, terribly sorry about not updating. I was busy with my first year at college. This summer I had food poisoning and then I broke my collar bone. I've been recovering well. It's not that I don't want to update, it's just that I've been preoccupied otherwise and hadn't had time for any writing. I apologize to any of you who still read my work or are anxiously waiting for a new story/chapter. Please forgive me!

Hey y'all! So at any time, I do accept one-shot requests, OC applications for mini-series, and reviews. Believe it or not, reviews help us writers overcome writer's block. It's this devlish thing, really. Messes with our minds and we cannot focus on our work. So be a good sport and let us know what you think? Criticizing, constructive criticism, and flaming are TOTALLY different things. We appreciate constructive criticism because it betters us as writers. Criticizing merely points out our flaws and demeans us, again USE CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM, not just criticism. Flaming is never acceptable, we understand that there are some readers that do not enjoy or appreciate our writings or share our same views. Please do NOT scream, rant, and rave at us saying that we are pieces of shit that have no idea what we're talking about...you're only making yourself look like a fool, not demeaning us. So flaming is not acceptable.
