A sufferer of both Dyslexia and Dysgraphia; it seems that writing shouldn't be something I enjoy doing... I don't when it comes to the good ol' pen and paper. It physically hurts. For a while I hated writing, it was just something I had to do to get through school and something that would always hold me back. However, I loved to tell stories. I always had characters sitting in my head wanting to tell me their story. I wanted to share them with the world.

So finally I sat down at a computer and I just started typing. I found I could go longer typing at a computer then writing on paper. It has been a long uphill struggle, but I am proud of how far I have come. I have no intentions of stopping.

Everything I post on here is to be considered a rough draft, or a dry run. There will be errors and it won't be perfect. I am posting here to get feedback on plot, characters and the overall feeling of my stories. I actually would like some of these to be published at some point.

I cannot promise a constant update on any of my stories, mostly because of how poor my health is. However, I will try to not keep everyone in the dark.

If you want me to read something just ask. However, please understand I will give actual feedback, so it might not always be praise.

I won't look at teen-fiction. Sorry but the genre has left a bitter taste in my mouth. I also won't look at Fanfiction.

I love comments as much as the next person, but I love every person that regularly read my work, and those who leave feedback as well, you make my day.

***Stories I am working on in order of priority***
Ashes of the Dawn.
Heart of Courage.

***Secondary projects that will get updated at random***

I write poems from time to time. And I thought why not share them? So when I do this is where they will go.

@MelissaRebhahn Yup. I'm prepared for it too. I have my mother's pink air rifle, two dogs who will eat anything, and this long pointy stick that used to hand from my blinds before I ripped them down and put up curtains instead.

@PaigeyLou yeah politics is boring and really an acquired taste you will either enjoy keeping up or it will bore to you to death.  Thus starting the zombie apocalypse.

@MelissaRebhahn Until there's a zombie apocalypse, I probably won't care what's going on in my country right now. Maybe the referendum will interest me when that happens, but zombies? Much more interesting than politics.

@PaigeyLou I try to stay on top of what is going on in America, but it has seriously gotten to the point here if I want to know what is going on in my own country I go to a UK news site :/

I don't even know what goes on in Scotland. I have no idea of anything because I'm still young enough that my mum pays for everything. She still gets benefits for me until I turn 20 (unless I move out before then). And we get benefits for a whole host of other things, but that doesn't make it any easier to pay for half the crap we need. I make the money in my house, but I only pay for bathroom stuff because my wages are so crap.

We do get water for free though. No taxes or bills or anything like that with water, though without electricity, there's no hot water T__T And we have numerous powercuts every few months.

You just gotta persevere. I'm sort of used to the crap because I've always lived with it, but hell if it doesn't get even a little annoying or hard sometimes. Just keep your chin up and things will get better :3

@PaigeyLou@IceMaiden786  Thanks Ice.  I know to a lot of people 200 USD sounds like a lot and to the lower class here in the states it is.  So I feel like a child complaining.  In some states even this is a lot of money, but their wages and cost of living are closer together.

Here in California, mostly the south half, our cost of living ratio to average wage is a joke and cost of living just keeps going up!  My family has always been lower middle class, and with how California works it is a hard state to move out of. 

Also I feel like a dunce because I sure other countries have similar problems, but I am so tired of America's shit right now.

I would give you a paddle if I could.

My family is on the lower side of lower-middle class and we always have been, so I can understand where you're coming from with all of that. Things will look up soon, you just have to persevere!

Sort of a personal rant so you guys can ignore this.  So me and Tyler get a notice in the mail saying, one they are cutting of EBT(food stamps) in half and two they were supposed to do it two months ago, but since admin fucked up we need to pay them back...in cash.  Not them prorating our food stamps, but actual money we don't have.

They fucked up and we have to pay for it, literally? Worse the cost of living went up in CA again, so food prices went up. $200 a month for two people in Southern California is doable.  It's a damn joke.

I am so tired of how expensive it is to leave here in this state, worse because we are broke we can't just up and move or we would.  I just want to scream and cry for all the good it won't do me. 

Bad enough I lost my medical so I am up shit creek without a paddle.
