Well, I've been at YWS for a while, and obviously, I'm a writer.

Hmm...well, I was born in France, and lived there until I was seven, at which point I was relocated in Alaska for the rest of my elementry school career, then it was Sothern Cal until high school when I went back to Alaska. After high school I'll be going to Hawaii for two years, and then back to Alaska until I get bored.

I've finished two books in three years. The first one is called Illusions, it was the first in a series of five, which has been discontinued for...complications. I almost got it published after I initially wrote it, by ABC publishing, but they went out of business. I'm actually glad it wasn't though, it was my first book, and thus, not really the best example of my writing. It's collecting dust on my shelves now. The second was Color my World, a classic, cheesy YA romance story, way too cliche to ever see the light of day (hehe, that rhymed!). Anyways, though I love both dearly they will always be my first trys, my first accomplishments, my first loves. They're my baby's! hehe.

At home, while I'm not writing, I'm doing something musical. Whether it be drumming with the drumline, or playing guitar in a band. My favorite bands include (in no particular order); Sick Puppies, Skillet, HIM, Avenged Sevenfold, A Perfect Circle, Illuminati, Coheed and Cambria, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Saosin, Reliant K, Alexz Johnson, Bullet for my Valentine, It Dies Today, Earth, Wind, and Fire, Stevie Wonder, and many many more. I can safely say that I'm a music addict. =D

Right now I'm working on a book called Philosophy of the Dark, AKA POD. You may have seen it around here, you might not have. Either way, you should read it, it's my most powerful story yet.

I read a lot. Everything from Victor Hugo, and Jane Austen, to the cheesiest YA you've ever seen. Here are my recommendations!

MY BOOK RECOMMENDATIONS
Also....

-Les Miserables, by Victor Hugo
-Burned, by Ellen Hopkins (sp?)
-Impulse, Same Author
-Go Ask Alice, Anonymous
-Everlost
-And many more I can't think of right now.

So, as if that weren't enough, which it is, I just wanted to say thanks for reading this!!!!!

I love critiquing stories (not poems, not my forte, sorry) and if you PM me, I'll read something for you!!!!! hehe.

Happy Writings!!!!!

One final note- I know that JCobsesed is spelt wrong =D hehe.
But that is not the question. Why we are here, that is the question. And we are blessed in this, that we happen to know the answer. Yes, in this immense confusion one thing alone is clear. We are waiting for Godot to come. -Beckett

Hey JC!!!!

Sounds like you've had some great traveling behind and in front of you! What's Alaska like?

Red Hot Chili Peppers rule! What's your favourite song of theirs?

I'm going to try and catch up with POD as I loved your story 'Enough To Live' and if that's anything to go by....

See you around,

Alaska's amazing, like a writers haven. There are so many just beautiful scenes around, all these tree's, it's where I get a lot of my scenes. And contrary to popular belief, it doesn't always snow hehe.

Hmmm...I'd say my favorite song is Hard to Concentrate or Animal Park....

And thanks for reading POD, It's nice to hear that you liked Enough to Live =D

Hello, JCobsesed!!!

Hey, thanks again for critting Pastless. I decided I needed enough people interested in it before I even thought about posting ch. 2... Anyway... I like Skillet and Reliant K also! And Les Miserables is one of my favorite classics. I read it two years ago, but I still remember it as being an extremely powerful piece of work. You read the unabridged, right?? Actually Les mis is what got me motivated to enroll in french this last year.

If I have some time I'll try to take a look at POD...

Yeah, the unabridged. I don't know, I just think that if a writer is going to spend that much of his life working on a piece that ends up being over a thousand pages...then well, I'm not going to read how somebody butchered it into a nice bit sized peice. Also I wanted the full effect of the story, the way it was made to be told...so there's the method behind my madness...

Your taking french? It's an awesome language isn't it? I wrote a story in french once...only seeing as most people here speak english, I didn't post it. Anyways, yeah, if you ever need help with words or grammer, feel free to ask me!

Merci pour ton temps Kylan,
