Oh look, readers! Welcome to my humble profile here. Here, let me show you around.

First, here's a little about me. I am a twenty one year old writer who is majoring in English and minoring in Education so I may progress toward becoming an English teacher at the secondary level. Music is one of my other passions and main inspirations-- I often get inspired by it and what results sometimes ends up here. I love to read as well and wish I had the time to do that more often and play video games. I currently work at a grocery store and live in the northeastern part of the United States, which is easy to tell from the slight Bostonian accent. From 2007-10, I suffered from complex-partial seizures, but will be seizure free for two years come March 20, 2012.

My Writing Style: My preference for stories is to write in the third person subjective and past tense. My style focuses on deep character and plot development and description with some wit thrown in here and there. I try to write in a way where the reader can visualize as much as possible so they can see what I am seeing. I've never been a particular fan of omniscient narrating, preferring to write so the reader knows as much as the characters do. However, I have played with a couple of other styles and enjoy a good challenge.

Other Writers: I am very blessed to know some of the other writers on this site. I advise you to read their fantastic works, their usernames being: NightChild68, DDR1, MegaFlameHedge, Luc Court, and Shirozora.

About My Stories: I've deleted quite a bit of stories that have been here since my time on FF.net. To be frank, I wasn't proud of those pieces; that's why I took them off. One was a song-fic, one was a song-thing, and the other was a story that I'm pretty sure was only being read by Zemyx lovers. I left The Pendulum's Path up there because I still love the story, even though I will not continue it and I now have a different origin story to replace it in the works. Lately, I've found myself fascinated by the dynamic between Lexaeus and Zexion, so you'll probably see some of that up here. So... yeah.

I think that this profile is informative enough to give you both basic information and information you could care less about. Either way, thank you for stopping by my profile. If you ever want to chat, send me a private message. If you wish for me to beta-read, let me know privately and understand that I live a very busy life; however, I do consider myself very thorough at beta-reading. See you around.

Sincerely,

The White Raven013

"Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand" (Isaiah 41:10, ESV).

"Pain is easy to portray, but to use your passion and pain to portray the ecstasy and joy and magnificence of our world, no one had ever done it before. Perhaps no one ever will again. To my mind, that strange, wild man who roamed the fields of Provence was not only the world's greatest artist, but also one of the greatest men who ever lived" (Vincent and the Doctor, Doctor Who, 2010).
