About me? Let’s see…
I a 32 year old, black female. I live in Maryland and I’m the mother of a 10 year old boy.
Hmm? What else? I’ve been writing since I was 13 years old and have just started posting the majority of my work on Fanfiction.net. It appears to be a little easier when you start with a character that people are already familiar with.
However, I have found that in the fanfiction world, I prefer to write AU stories. I like the ability to create who and what my characters are. It’s the closest to writing a completely original story without thinking of what a character looks like.
I write for fun; it is both my passion and my albatross. I really don’t have the desire to be published, though most people…

The humidity is like a blanket over my nose. It’s hard to breathe and the mold and dust in here isn’t making it any easier. There’s a window in the far corner, but I can’t really get to it, unless I move all of the wooden chairs piled in front of it. Judging from how old this place is, I doubt if it’ll even open. But, it’s too damn hot in here not to try. I step carefully across the room because most of the floor boards are weak. Wonder what’s underneath this place? Probably a crawl space, bu...

There’s something about red that gets under my skin. I hate red. It fucks me up. I don’t know why, either. It’s just something about it. It’s no wonder that I hate variations of it, like fucking pink. And adding hints of yellow, orange, and blue to make peach and cotton candy? It makes my stomach hurt. I can normally ignore it, though. It’s not like it’s as bad as red. But, it’s still there. The red…it’s always there. That’s another reason why Leah’s dorm room drives me insane. Leah’s room lo...

Adam is the most together person I know. God, there’s so many things about him that I admire. For example, he’s got a good head on his shoulders. He’s the kind of guy that rolls up his sleeves and does what needs to be done, no matter the situation. If the bills need to be paid, Adam finds the money. If there’s a highly stressful situation at work, he jumps in, gets everybody to the shut the fuck up, and settles the uneasiness. If I lose control, he’s right there with a gentle voice and warm ...

The newspapers have us all wrong. They seem to think that I’m some sort of monstrous sexual predator and that Adam is a sadistic animal. It’s not like I’m the type to hide in a dark alley and use chloroform and shit, like some sickos I’ve read about. I don’t prey on people or forced them to do anything they didn’t want to do. And Adam isn’t some kind of deviant like they say. He doesn’t snatch people up from shopping malls or walk around with a bag of Medieval torture devices or any of that o...

Although I think better suited for the satire/humor category, I enjoyed this. As a smoker, I am pissed that I can't even smoke in a bar. Really! It's a freakin' bar. What else am I supposed to do while I drink my beer? Liquor and cigarettes go together like cake and ice cream. It's a damn shame, is what it is. Now, I'm all for nonsmoker's rights. But now when you step on mine, so they'll have them. Cool. I won't smoke in the mall or at the library. But if you can't go in a bar and expect it t...
That was really cute. Mountain Dew is the devil's urine. That stuff is GROSS!!!! It tastes like flat soda, but that's just my opinion. I love the fact that you refer to it as "Luciferian". That's funny. It appears that you have a love/hate relationship with it. You love it because it gives you the chance to be a winner at life. Just like the other millions of Dew addicts...all hoping to see those lovely words under the cap. But like a gambler, you have to drink more, in hopes to win. Never on...

I think you definitely minimized the passive voice. I was most impressed with how crisp and precise the description of the bar, the guests and the atmosphere were. For some reason, I found myself wanting to know more about the music playing. Not that it was the major theme of the story, but I could visualize everything else in the pub, I really wanted to hear the music for myself. What made the narrator stay? What had he/she done all day, and what plans were they giving up to stay around this...
