Hi! My name is Carolina and I'm from a town near Porto in Portugal, but I'm currently living in London.

I'm a wannabe materials engineer and skater with a severe case of wanderlust and an undying love for all things music (listening, playing, singing, writing,...).

Other than that, I've managed to live with a not-at-all-small addiction to stories. Books, movies, fanfics, anime, tv series,... Anything with a good story will do.

I also used to dance (I kind of miss it). And I used to be a scout (I also kind of miss it). And I played the violin (I don't miss it).

And life is good.

I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world. - Albert Einstein

To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends.

This is to have succeeded. - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square hole. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do. - Apple Computer Inc.

You aren't falling apart. You're well beyond that. You're just rattling along now. Elven dolls doing what little you can to gather the pieces as they fall away. But you don't know how to properly reattach them - a doll does not repair itself. So you hug those brittle fragments to your chest until you simply cannot hug anymore. Until you've had to leave so many behind that you no longer remember what it is you're missing. - Darrel Drake

Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans. - John Lennon

With great power . . . comes great need to take a nap. - Rick Riordan (Nico in Percy Jackson and The Olympians: The Last Olympian)

Proper punctuation is the difference between a man's laughter and a manslaughter.

Don't say 'infinitely' when you mean 'very'; otherwise you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite.

Your manuscript is both good and original, but the part that is good is not original and the part that is original is not good.

A story should have a beginning, a middle, and an end... but not necessarily in that order.

A synonym is a word you use when you can't spell the other one.

Being an author is like being in charge of your own personal insane asylum.

Proofread carefully to see if you any words out.

The wastebasket is a writer's best friend.

Writing is a socially acceptable form of schizophrenia.

If there is anyone here whom I have not insulted, I beg his pardon.

I'll probably change things in the future, but, for now, that's all.

Bye!
