Since I decided to delete my other two journal entries, I wanted to write a new entry and just give an update of what's been happening in my life, so far and explain some things about myself because I feel my DeviantArt profile doesn't explain a lot about who I am.

First of all, I am a writer---I've been into writing for as long as I can remember, but I haven't always been a writer. I once wanted to be a Mariene Biographer, for some strange reason, but I have always been writing and reading. I consider myself a very ecclectic, open minded person. I listen to a variety of music--anything from Fergie, to Nirvana to Mozart. The only genre of music I can't stand is Country and any other genres related to it. Perhaps because I live in Texas and people are under the common misconception that we all wear ten gallon hats and ride horses everywhere we go. I also live in the suburbs of Austin and I hate it because I am a big city girl at heart and wished I at least lived in Austin. I suppose this came about ever since I went to Paris a year ago. I've never been the same since and wished I could live there. If you ever have a chance to visit--do so, it's the most inspiring city. I am also addicted to fashion, which depresses me because I don't have enough money to buy anything in the magazines I am subscribed to.

I am now a Junior in high school and incredibly busy, so if there are few updates--you'll know why. I've been very uninspired lately, as well. I blame school--it takes the creative thoughts out of me...and I'm too exhausted to write, most of the time. I'm afraid I'm losing my touch...if I even had a touch...maybe I'm just developing a new style, coming into my own as a writer and all that jazz. I wish.

In the meantime, I am attempting to write a novel, which I have posted the first couple of pages to. If you have the time, please stop by--I could use some advice for it.

Well, there you have it--my oh so interesting life summed up in a couple paragraphs.
