Before I say anything, it is pertinent that you know that I will not respond to read requests, and I'm truly sorry. I am a person who must find stories and interesting things on my own. It's not that I'm selfish or don't want to read your stories, it's just that the book has to stand out to me when I find it. Rarely has there been a book out there that has been suggested to me I have truly enjoyed. HOWEVER, I am almost always up for story swaps depending on the situation, and if I have time. So don't let your heart drop. :)

Well, enough of that. My name's Portia and I'm 16 years old (give or take a few months...). My fav hobbies are playing video games, drawing, writing, and reading.
I've been reading stories ever since I learned in 'three-day-threes', and telling/writing them even before that. Writing is my passion, and I hope to one day become a famous author; it's the only dream job that ever stuck with me throughout the years. I completed my first official story in eighth grade, and it is still the proudest moment in my life. I have written since then two more stories and have had several more ideas-though only the ones I know I'll stick with will be written. I've had many of my friends say that my stories are great, and if I'm lucky, they weren't lying; to be honest though, I just write what i want to read. I am the author AND the reader-and I enjoy it.
My 2 best friends in the whole wide world are Paigers and Geoff. They're the greatest, and I love them both. Without their support (mostly Geoff's...) and the support of several other friends, I may never have gotten to be where I am today.
I can be pretty crazy, but also really mellow, it just sorta depends how I feel or who I'm around. I can't say there is much interesting about me, but if you want to know anything else, please feel free to ask.
