about me

***If you read Into the Shadows and/or The Realmer's Necklace, you deserve cupcakes of the cyber variety!***
I'm Carlyn (pronounced "Car-Lynn"), and here are a few things about me! I'm sixteen, currently a sophomore in high school. I absolutely l-o-v-e writing and reading. (DUH!) It is my dream to become published author. I love God with all my heart. I love my friends and family. I love getting lost in a book and writing. I have too many projects going at once. I love the smell of Barnes & Noble. I like bright and bold colors, but when picking out clothes, I tend to stay in the more casual/cute styles with darker colors. I have a very loud laugh. I'm currently obsessed with the song Running Up That Hill by Placebo. I want to dye my hair "Victoria red". (Yes, that is indeed a Twilight reference.) I'm obsessed with the Twilight Saga and all things vampire/werewolf. So, if you've got any vamp or wolf stories, lay it on me! I'd love to add 'em to my list of things to read! However, I usually don't write anything about vampires/werewolves. My favorite number is 9,475. No lie. Being rude to anyone around me is a "no-no". I hate seeing people bullied, put down, insulted, etc. I don't like new situations, and new people scare the crap out of me. I would describe myself as: Fun, friendly, caring, pessimistic, twibsessed, random, silly, loving, creative, impatient, easily annoyed, easily amused, hard working if I put my mind to something, musically awesome (not as in musically talented, as in I like awesome music I.M.O. !), witty, sarcastic, very forgiving, a people-pleaser, loyal, indecisive, and cheerful. I have a low self esteem. I love rain. I tend to doubt and question everything. Tacos are my favorite food. I LOVE finding new books to read. If you have any book recommendations (ASIDE from asking me to read yours) let me know! I LOVE SWAPPING READS. If you ask me to read something of yours, I fully expect for you to return the favor, and I will ask you to. I also hate accidentally forgetting to read/comment someone's stuff, so if I don't PLEASE don't think I'm blowing you off. I try to keep a list of works I need to read. If you don't see yours on there, please tell me and I'll add it!

"I love holding a book and knowing that I have knowledge, imagination, and creativity in my hands. It's just a matter of deciding to open it up and read."

If you just read all of that, you deserve a cyber cupcake!!!

Works to Read/Finish Reading:
The First Phoenix (inkmuse)
An Inked World (exsandohs)
Seeing in a Blind World (NUX)
Dreamscape - The Gatekeeper Chronicles (Nataliya Maize)
Mischa (Author SM Johnston)
Winter Child ( isabella2296)

Into the Shadows

by technicolorgirl

Short Story: Adventure, Mystery, Paranormal, Horror

Shadows can contain our worst nightmares once our eyes are opened.

"Listen to me: don't run...Don't make any sudden movements, and don't appear afraid."
"But I am afraid," Julie whispered.
"So am I."

Julie Evans has a problem. Haunted by the recent death of her fiance, Mike, Julie begins to see things she can't explain. Nightmarish things that are far too real. They chase, they kill, and they are determined. As the days pass by, Julie realizes that they won't leave her until she's dead.

***This had started off a short story... But, that changed once ideas started flowing. Once it hits the 10,000 word mark, I'm going to be putting it on here as a book. If you've added this "short story" to your picks list, I hope that the BOOK will be on your picks once it's up instead of this short version. Thank you for reading! ***

The Realmer's Necklace

by technicolorgirl

Book: Adventure, Science Fiction/Fantasy, Romance, General Fiction

What if everything you knew about yourself was a lie?

"Fairy tales are more than true: not because they tell us dragons exist, but because they tell us dragons can be beaten." - G. K. Chesterton

Auralee Herson is an ordinary girl with a wish for something magical in her life. One Spring night in Michigan, her wish comes true, but she soon realizes that it isn't all it's cracked up to be. Not knowing that she is what every magical being is after, Auralee takes the hand of a stranger and enters the Realm of Adrastea. Soon everything she thought she knew turns into a lie, and she begins the battle for her life. Not only must she fight to save her own life, she must also decide how much of this is truth, and how much lies.

* * * This is a work in progress. * * *

First book in what I plan to be the Adrastea Chronicles.

Pain Like An Ocean

by technicolorgirl

Poem

Sometimes it feels as if I will never resurface.

A poem about how sometimes it feels like I'm just sinking deeper, and deeper into an ocean of tears and pain and fear.
