No, I'm not from Australia, so there was no reason for my subject other than the fact I have run out of creative subjects to use.

I'm Spark, if you haven't guessed. Don't call me Sparky. I don't like it. I'm not a dalmation.

I'm 15: a sophomore. I write realistic fiction, mostly short stories, but I'm trying to write a novel as we speak. It's slow going. I tend to lose the ever elusive muse to write quite often. Really, what keeps me going is feedback and having other people read my work. And since not many teenagers I know have a passion for writing, this looks like a good place to do it.

I hate math and science, love English and history. I challenge myself in school so I don't have a lot of spare time. I have a horse, her name is Lily. I have to pay for everything of hers myself ($400 a month give or take), so I have a job. I live 45 minutes west of Boston. I like to keep writing pleasure not a career, and I'd rather like to be a lawyer.

i resent that!! australians dont go around saying "ello mates" and "gday luv", like everyone thinks, in fact ive never said "ello mates" before in my life, so can you not be so stereotypical, espescially where i can read.

on a more positive note, welcome to yws.

you might want to watch your step around me when it comes to stereotypes and jokes about Aussies and Kiwis (yes bubbles, ive changed my ways, given im half kiwi and should be more proud of it)

HOPE YOU HAVE FUN HERE!!

Haha, actually, Little-Lucy, one of my best friends is from Australia and I know they don't actually do that :) I didn't mean to offend anyone.

Hello, everybody else!

Hullo! Welcome to YWS! Very cool that you have a horse. I'm in Southern California and in the section of it that's mostly urban and/or desert. The most I've ever ridden a horse is a pony at a fair. XD

If you want to chat or have questions you can PM me ^_^

Welcome, Spark! You are really ambitious for your age, I think that is so admirable!

I was never one for horses, because I am a very tiny person and they are oh-so-big, and that was always quite intimidating to me, but I always thought if I got over that silly fear, I'd probably like it!

I'm sure you'll get the feedback you need here, and if there's any question or comment you have for me ever, feel free to PM!

Amen, sistah. :D

Anyway, s'good to meet you.
I'm Meep, &c., ad nauseam.
Don't worry, I won't ever call you Sparky. I swear.

A friend of mine is both a lawyer and a career writer, so you can have it both ways. (obligatory link)

Well, maybe I'll become a lawyer, and then make enough money so if it turns out I'm an awful writer I can survive. :) That's one lucky person.

Y'all are so friendly :)

Another wannabe lawyer, eh? Way cool.

By the way, I'm absolutely in love with your icon! Very cool indeed.

Don't worry, I won't call you Sparky - I have some emotional ties lingering with that name, so Spark will do. Maybe Sparks, with an s, if I'm feeling friendly.

Sounds like you're gonna fit right in here, Spark! If you have any questions, feel free to PM me or any of the other mods or admins, and we'll do our best to help. :)
Love and Light
