about me

chapter 17 of "stuck on f/16" is now up!

so read chapter seventeen!! :d

ohh, the chapters are sort of messed up; chapter 1 is the prologue & the link to chapter 2 leads you to chapter 1. just keep that in mind. i don't want people getting irritated. lol! :)


i love writing; i believe it can bring change, hope, and inspiration to anyone who is willing to close their eyes and open their imagination. let writing breathe for you, flowing through your veins as if it is a part of you.

about six things, i'm positive:
1.) i'm boring
2.) i'm shy
3.) i don't let people in easily. you gotta kick & pry.
4.) people irritate me. a lot.
5.) i'm a laugher; no message, comment, or text is withouth "lol" or (my personal favorite) the "!".
6.) i'm in love with photography. it's the only other passion of mine. i've won a few state contests, done a few light paintings, and dominated the polaroid art. but, nonetheless, i'm no professional.


i want to earn a newberry medal award, and a pulitzer prize. and i want to be the first to write a musical in book-form. greedy 'ole me wants to be remembered for something great, and form myself a place in the hallway of legacies as i try to conquer this world.


"i think they could take sesame seeds off the market and i wouldn't even care. i can't imagine five years from now saying, "damn, remember sesame seeds? what happened? all the buns are blank!" they're gonna have to change that mcdonald's song: "two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions, on a... bun." how's a sesame seed stick to a bun? that's fuckin' magical! there's got to be some sesame seed glue out there! either that, or they're adhesive on one side. "take the sesame seed out, remove the backing, place it on the bun. now your bun will look spectacular." what does a sesame seed grow into? i don't know; we never gave them a chance! what the fuck is a sesame? it's a street! it's a way...to open shit!" --mitch hedburg

Stuck on F/16

by NextBigThing

Book: Paranormal, Romance

What if your worst fears were once your greatest-held possessions?

Chris Bartlett lives a down-to-earth, normal life in Chicago. That is, it's normal until things began to go PARAnormal. As he starts to literally see dead people, three things come into play: Ayden Thompson, several subplots, and ultimately Chris himself--all of them forcing him to overcome his fears. But when they all combine to throw light on the biggest fear of them all, Chris's dark past, will he be able to overcome it?

Comical, dramatic, and stitched with the obstacles that the everyday-teenager faces, F/16 brings to mind the courage one must have in order to forgive, forget, and move on.
