about me

i'm sam.
i'm recently sixteen and i live in a tiny little town you've never heard of.
i love to read (wow. how original, huh?) and write (i know. truly inspired) and, like you, i'm sure, i'd like to be a published author.
--altered was a top pick for march. thank you to everyone who helped get it there. seriously, it means the world to me. i got an amazing review--seriously, amazing--which is posted in the forums under march top pick reviews. my story is on private now, though; i'm sorry, but for the moment, that is my decision.

simply snazzy and i have a story posted together! it's called sing to me and is over here-- http://inkpop.com/projects/42387/sing-to-me/.
if you a want a swap, that's what you're swapping for--just so you know. :p your return comment might be on this account or on the joined account maggie and sam, but rest assured, it's the same person.


some random facts about me:
i'm addicted to nail polish. i always have it on.
shiny things? yeah, just like the nail polish. it's everywhere.
i was made to read, not do math. no matter how many times i try to explain it, though, people still expect my geometry homework to get done. *sigh.*

tamora pierce once emailed me. it was possibly the coolest moment of my life.

wait, scratch that.

altered breaking top ten? i think that may have been cooler.

anyway. feel free to message me! i won't respond to random 'read me now' requests, but if you're polite, i might just check you out.
i have a blog, as seen below. i also have this, as inspired by simplysnazzy. http://www.formspring.me/sammi207. it's a question site; you can ask whatever you like, book related, random related, whatever. it's fun. :p

**cover kudos go to cipherqueen. isn't it awesome?

*edit*
altered is actually finished. out of 22 chapters, this is all i plan to post online.

anyway. if you made it to the end of this message, i totally commend you. i give you a cyber sticker of awesomeness.

please read!!!
if you're checking out altered, there's some sort of technical issue with the buttons 3, 10, and 11. it's annoying and weird and i've sent a message to inkpop to try and get some help. i'm so sorry for the confusion; i'm scared to mess with it too much, though, because i don't want to delete the story.


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 liked. i will give an honest review that is as helpful and supportive as it can be.

Short Story: Science Fiction/Fantasy

If you had to choose between the lives of millions or the lives of your loved ones, how could you?

-Altered was a top pick for March. I got revision requests and need a beta; so, I'm posting the first chapter.- Ash is done with war. It's fair enough; she spent her childhood fighting one. At eight, she was scientifically made into the best soldier ever known—but now she’s seventeen. The war’s over. All she wants is to live peacefully, get a manicure, and leave the life of the Altered behind. Unfortunately, her manicurist dumped her after all the broken nails. Even worse, the other Altered are hunting her down. After four years, they’ve found her. One of these three is Ky, a boy who’s gotten ridiculously attractive. He makes her head goes fuzzy; something that’s is kind of dangerous, considering her life. Not two days after Ky and the others appear, everything goes wrong. A civilian mob, a black tattoo, and a self righteous idiot push Ash back to PEKA, the corrupt company that Altered her. From there, Ash is forced to choose. She can lead PEKA's Altered army against civilians, or she can step back and let her oldest friends be killed. Ash is used to having godly power. Using it, though, has never been so hard.
