I'm really happy to be here on Wattpad, and not only getting to share some of the writing I've done, but also read stories written by other people of my age group (I would be more than happy to read your stories and give feedback; all you have to do is ask).

I live in a small town in southern Indiana, where the nearest cornfield is two blocks from my house.  We have one high school, and McDonald's is the most popular hangout.

I am really into the fine arts.  I play the clarinet in Marching Band and Symphonic Band, am a soprano in Choir, and do Drama Club, as well as playing the piano.  Theater is my favorite thing ever.  There is no greater rush than being onstage, playing a character in a story that you and the cast are, after tireless rehearsal, bringing to life.  My favorite musical is either Phantom of the Opera or Les Miserables.

I'm a dog person, and I'm the proud owner of the two most adorable dogs in the world.  I'm a math brain, and the only junior in the school taking Calculus.  I speak German and a little French.  I don't like sports much at all.  However, I'm always up for a rousing game of badminton. I love God.

I love the Harry Potter series, and would gladly have an 8-hour conversation in which I point out everything that's wrong with the movies.  My favorite author is Agatha Christie.  I also enjoy the Chronicles of Narnia, Lord of the Rings, the Inkheart trilogy, To Kill a Mockingbird, the Uglies Series, the Farsala Trilogy, Les Miserables, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and many more.  I don't like werewolf or vampire stories.

Well, I hope that you feel you know me a little better now.  You should know that nothing makes me happier than looking at my Uploads page and seeing a new vote or comment.  So please don't stop at just reading my work.  Tell me what you think, be honest (not brutal), tell me which characters or plot elements you like.  Feedback is warmly welcomed!

Hey, I was just looking through my library and I noticed that your story A Thousand Reasons To Live, is on hold *sad face* I really enjoyed the concept and was wondering if you were planning on continuing it? I mean, I know that you're probably insanely busy, but I was just wondering..Thanks(:

Hey there, Rachel! This feels awkward, as I haven't done this in a long, long time, but I would like to ask you if you would read a story that I and a fellow wattpadder are writing. It is called Stones of Rhiadon, and it would be on the profile@TheWriters . 

It would be an honor to have an accomplished writer, such as yourself, read our humble story. Thank you!

Hey, just letting you know ahead of time that I'm about to leave on a two-week camping trip.  Since internet access really isn't in the camping spirit, I won't be on Wattpad during that time.  So, I won't be updating, replying to messages, or reading anything during that time.  Don't worry though; I'll be back before you know it!
