away for a week, miss you all!! :)

hi! until extremely recently, when i fell off the wagon and wrote my latest poem, i was on a mission to read all the jodi picoult books before i wrote anything new, so there's quite a gap between me writing a summer's walk through winter and all my previous pieces. i'd love for you to read any of them but i'm mainly looking for comments on my latest poem right now. anyhoo, i hope to get to know you, and i hope jodi picoult helps me a lot with my writing. thanks. x :)

-i love wearing wellies. if someone said to me "would you like to come hiking?" i'd probably do one of those screams like in horror movies that really goes through you, like nails down a black board, just at the thought of exercise. but, if someone said to me "would you like to come hiking with me? we can wear our wellies" i would be screaming with joy. i don't know what it is about them but i could wear them all day, i feel like a cyberman like off doctor who when i walk in them.
-oh yeah, i'm vegetarian (still eat fish though, i'm working on it).
-i'm left handed.
-i dream of becoming a conservationist or environmental journalist.
-i finally changed my profile pic from that hat that i've had up there for nearly a year. it's now some cuuuute baby chinchillas. i'd love to own a pair of chinchillas. it's one of my life goals.
-the websites below do in no way belong to me. i just think they're nice.

the evolution revolution:

i believe in honesty. i believe that i deserve to know the truth about my writings, even if that truth is ugly. and i believe that the truth is being repressed by people who are either too afraid to offend or who don't care enough to say it.

so here's my pledge. in all of my dealings with my fellow inkpoppers, i will do my best to be honest. this does not mean merciless slaughter of innocent poems and novels, this does not mean insta-picks for every short story that i read. this means that, what i read, i will comment on. what you do is up to you.

i promise to:
1. always read at least one chapter; thoroughly. no skimming, no once-overs. i will be an honest reader.
2. balance my comment with what i liked and didn't like. i will give an honest review that is as helpful and supportive as it can be.
