I'm a Canadian currently living at home (Yes, I know that's sad at my age. I'm hoping to move out by the end of summer) and working for a cruise line as Youth Staff. I write in my free time, what little of it that isn't taken up with traveling and hanging out with my friends. I appreciate all comments but I am especially grateful for any criticism. I am somewhat oblivious and often need to be hit over the head with something before I notice it. 
I'm also, despite the fact that I hate poetry, a published poet. 
Okay because I keep getting requests for it I'm just going to let you all know that I' not the hugest fan of  critiquing. I do it mostly as a stress reliever/ to help myself improve/because some people honestly just need a bit of help. When I critique I am incredibly mean and nit-picky. The worse the story is, the nastier I get. I am also brutally honest about it. Emphasis on the brutal part. Please bear this in mind when asking me to look at your work. I'll do it, but there's a high likelihood that I will tear your story apart. Also possibly your pride and your soul. You have been warned, so please, don't yell at me later if I critique your work or say I didn't tell you how bad I'd be. I have. 
Since I hate the constant posting of everything I do to it, if you want my tumblr account just go to laurendmsmith.tumblr.com . It's half blog-half writing website but there's a place for questions in case any of you have ones you want to ask. You can also ask anonymously if you like.
Thanks for reading!

@LaurenDMSmith it is a unique story line, which on here is gold! And the frequency of updates is nice...although I am waiting with bated breath for other story lines (gentle nudge and not so subtle wink), this makes the wait fall to the background so no complaints here!

@books1 I'm glad you like it! I've had the half-formed idea floating around for a while, but finally got the basics hammered out and couldn't wait to start writing it. It's currently my favourite which is pretty obvious what with the more frequent uploads and all. Thanks for reading and for taking the time to let me know you enjoy my work. I really appreciate it
