Hi, my name's Melanie 
My friend Cheryl recommended these forums to me, but I didn't know her screen name, so when I registered I couldn't put her name in the recommended spot. Thing.
I like to write fantasy stories about teens, because I'm a teenager myself. I'm a teen writing for teens...because why would a teenager write towards adults? Well, my first novel I started when I was 12 or 13, and I finished at 15. The characterization was terrible, and I kind of dropped that story. Now it lurks in the recesses of my hard drive. In January this year I had a dream that kind of developed into a whole plot line, which is my present story, and the only story I have started that has an outline prepared. With school, work, and general goofing off, I don't work on it nearly as much as I initially hoped to; I wanted to try to finish it this summer.
I hate summer reading, it makes me procrastinate.
I'm a triplet -- two brothers.
I find it very time-wasting to make little paper characters like Henry, my avatar. I also have Jenna the elephant, Steve the bumblebee, Shawn the penguin, a cow, and a dog. Oh yeah, and the Cheshire Cat. I also made a bunch of little people including Harry Potter characters.
Right now I'm listening to Globus, a band that distracts me very much due to the sheer epicness of their songs.
Anyway...
Hi, nice to meet you
