Hi, my name is Amanda. I love writing, but I would like to hear advice and suggestions for how to be better. If you like my stories, tell me. If you absolutely hate them, PLEASE tell me! I'm a big girl, I can handle it, I promise! Thank you for taking time to read my stories, I really appreciate it. I would love to hear your criticism. But anyways...

About me:I'm 15 and am a sophomore in high school. I'm the kind of girl who gets beaten at poker by a five year old and a lot of people think that I'm a little crazy. I want to be a writer more than anything in the world, which is just one of my many crazy dreams. My family and friends mean the world to me, and, nutty may they be, I wouldn't be able to do anything to let them down. I am totally shy around people that I don't know well, but my friends probably wish that I would just shut up sometimes :D. I am definitely not a super self-confident kind of girl, but I can handle hearing criticism better than a lot of other people I know. I am really overly emotional and a hopeless cause when it comes to sappy romance scenes, but I think that comes with being a writer. I am afraid of falling, literally, like falling off of a bridge kind of thing. So, of course, I want to try bungee jumping and skydiving. I love to fly, and I hope to someday receive my pilot's license. Really, I'm a pretty eclectic person!

Music:Music is my life, well, besides writing. I have music playing every second, and I listen to everything. My favorite genre is country but really, I'll give anything else a shot. I play the piano and love listening to people play. I have a soft spot for people who can play really well, I just love to sit and listen to them play. I love Chopin, and pretty much anything else. My favorite country artists are Rascal Flatts, Tim McGraw (his songs inspire a lot of my stories), Brad Paisley, Taylor Swift, Sugarland, Jason Aldean, and the list goes on and on. I also love the band The District, Trapt, Breaking Benjamin, (the old) Linkin Park, Coheed and Cambria, and Everlife. And to get my poetry kick, I love listening to Tom Waits (he has a very rough voice, but his music is pure poetry in my opinion) and also some Bob Dylan. My favorite song at the moment is probably Headstrong by Trapt. As you can probably see, music is definitely my weakness. C:

Books:Being a writer, I also love to read. It kind of comes hand in hand. I'm kind of a sucker for romantic stories, and so that's generally what I write about. Hmm, some of my favorites. Harry Potter series, Twilight series (yes, I'm one of those people), the Pink Angels series, the Maximum Ride series, anything written by Sarah Dessen, such as My Lullaby, Just Listen, The Truth about Forever, Somebody Like You, etc. I also like Nicholas Sparks (ex: The Notebook, A Walk to Remember, Dear John...) and pretty much anything else, but I won't list them all for you at the moment!

My Stories: Okay, so just a quick thing about my stories. I don't update often on my fanfic. Daydreams I still update every once in a while, but my main focuses are my fictionpress stories. Though, if you ask nice enough, I will try to write more for Daydreams ;)

If you like my stories, I also have a few on fictionpress.com. You can find my profile there at http://www.fictionpress.com/~musicismyweakness, so tell me what you think! Thanks so much :D
