Look, a Newbie! Kill it!

Hello, everyone! I am Superficial Faith and I have decided to take a bold step in my life by deciding to post a self-introductory topic in the welcoming forum (oh my!). Seriously, though, let's get down to the meat of this post: I am 17 years old (18 in May) and I am a senior in high school. I have all ready been accepted into Mary Baldwin College's VWIL program, meaning I'll have to go to VMI a few times a week next year for ROTC classes (either Navy or Army). I am a grammar nut, and I'll give you all a head's up now: I do not hold back when I review. If something's wrong, believe me, I'll tell you. I tend to be rather blunt when it comes to my reviewing, and I honestly ask you do the same for me. Also, my biggest pet peeve is when people do not capitalize their "I"'s when using it as a proper noun. Honestly, does it really take that much effort to press the "shift" key? For the most part, I write fanfiction (on that note, I'm an assistant admin at Fic Haven), though I am working on a non-fiction guide as well as an environmental/sci-fi novel. Most importantly, I tend to be a pretty friendly (though very vocal) person, so don't be afraid to speak up and pop me a line. I promise I don't bite (often)! Oh, and while I'm on that subject; I tend to be very tongue-in-cheek, so don't take what I say too seriously when I'm posting casually, and even then it should be taken with a grain of salt. I believe that's enough for now, as I've probably rambled your ears off (it's a bad habit of mine), so bring on the newbie torture; I'm ready! *arms herself with a loaf of French bread*

You're writing about trich? Interesting. I'd love to take a look.

I have no idea what Bek [Mesh] is talking about. :roll:

*rubs eyes in amazement*

You actually know what trich is? There's a rarity. Root beer all around!

Seriously though, at the convention sponsored by TLC, all the books were either too adult-sounding or were geared towards elementary to middle schoolers. So I decided to try and write one that appeals to teens specifically. I have more than enough experience with teen issues and trich as I've been through it all (for the most part).
