Hi sorry for the late reply
Krista - This is going to be a YA novel probably, but I'm not really looking to get it published or anything I'm just trying to expand my writing to something other than short stories and poems.
Ravens Trove - I think I am going to work on the story a bit more before I send it out, so it should be out to you in about a week or sooner since you only want the first 2000 words.

Read through for me?
Started about 1 month ago · Last post 19 days ago ·
I'm not sure what happened or why my original post was deleted but I'll just post it again..
I am currently writing a story. It's about a girl named Margo who is 17 and she moves to New Jersey from Chicago. The problem is, everyone is like super stereotypical in this little town and she only finds comfort in this small forest behind her house. One day while she's in the forest, a mysterious goth boy shows up and shows a sudden interest in her. Meanwhile, she has this belief that everyone is put on the earth to do one duty, whether that be saving someone's life, or robbing a bank or even just like having a kid, this is their destiny. And once they have completed this destiny, they die.
It doesn't have a title yet and I am only about halfway done with it, but I really want someone to read it through for me so that I can get a clearer idea of the direction that I need to go, and the things that I need to work on.
Please reply or message me if you are interested Thanks :)

Concept help for my book
Started about 1 month ago · Last post about 1 month ago ·
I am writing a story about a girl named Margo who is like this really cool smart punk rock girl, anyway. Margo is really into the idea that you are put on the earth to contribute one thing, be that curing cancer, or getting in the olympics, or even killing someone. Once you have completed your "One thing" you are able to die peacefully. Does anyone know if there is a name for this theory, and if it belongs to any religion? Any help is appreciated thank you

My favorite band is....
Started over 4 years ago · Last post 2 months ago ·
I love girl bands, rather, bands with girl frontwomen.. My favorite band is the Yeah Yeah Yeah's, I love their kind of unforgiving rock sound. I also like No Doubt and Santigold.

Writing in Books
Started 2 months ago · Last post 2 months ago ·
I don't usually, but if there's a passage or phrase that I like, or I want to remember - I usually underline it.. I've never highlighted a book before but I'm making an exception for John Green's book The Fault in Our Stars because there are so many worthwhile quotes in it that I need to remember.. I really only do it in paperback books though because there's something special to me about a hardcover book that you cannot deface or do anything to it (another exception I made with The Fault in Our Stars).

Do you mark, highlight, underline, scribble notes in your books? I'm curious to see who does, and what your thoughts are on it. By this I mean personal books, novels that you read by choice.

once upon a time
Started 2 months ago · Last post 2 months ago ·
Sam was big. Easily 200 pounds, but you don't really notice that because of the thick red scar that ran from his forehead all the way down to his left ear, along with many others of varying lengths, widths and sizes along his neck, chest and arms. He was sitting on the metal bench outside of Stan's, the metal candy shop. Sam was the type of kid who only had one emotion -- disdain. He was sitting on the bench, his long blonde hair swept over one eye, chewing on his lip piercing. So Jack, being the kind of bad ass that he was, strutted over to the bench and challenged Sam to a fight.

Harry Potter Fans!
Started 7 months ago · Last post about 1 month ago ·
I wish I was a ravenclaw, I fit into the traits the best and I've always thought I was a ravenclaw. But when I joined pottermore I was sorted into hufflepuff which was disappointing so I tried again and I was hufflepuff. Then just last week I took the test again to see if I've changed at all but no.. I'm destined to be a hufflepuff..

Books!

My absolute favorite book ever in the world (so far) is The Fault in Our Stars by John Green. I love all of his books, they are the perfect mix of intelligence, humor, seriousness, and amazing writing. Be warned though, if you read this you will probably cry for 2 weeks straight after you're done

**Happy grams!** (Fourth edition!)
Started almost 2 years ago · Last post 30 minutes ago ·
I received a Happy Gram from Sandy the other day, and it came just in time! I've been having the worst month! It was full of lots of little things like Charms, Fabric swatches, Stickers, and what not. But I was really happy to see the card! It had all of the muppets on it and at the bottom it said Happy Gram! I would post a picture of it if I knew how. Thanks SO much! Also.. I will be sending my happy gram out soon, as I said before I have had a horrible month and not much time to craft..

Nail Foils
Started 11 months ago · Last post 10 months ago ·
So I wanted to try Nail Foils but I'm not sure where to buy from. All of the videos that I've watched say that they bought theirs from this website dollarnailart.com . I've looked on that website and it looks kind of sketchy. I was wondering if any of you have tried it, and what you thought. Also where you bought them from. I would want to buy them form a store rather than a website, but all of the beauty stores that I can think of only carry "Hair Foils". Anyway, Help would be much appreciated :)
Thanks

Beginner Acoustic Guitars?
Started 11 months ago · Last post 5 months ago ·
I've been playing guitar for about 4 years. The acoustic that I really like is called a Fender Sonoran. It's part of fenders california series, I have it in a discontinued color, but it comes is Gray, Blue, Red (which I really like), Black, and Neutral. It goes for about 275 for the neutral and 300 for the colors.
If you want a value you might want to go for the Epiphone Masterbilt DR-500MCE, It's a bit more than you mentioned, but it's worth it. Comes in a sunburst and a natural blonde. Nice thing about it is it has solid back and sides which is unusual for a guitar in that price range.
Those are the two that I really like. I would recommend both of them just because they're not throwaway beginner guitars, they'll last a while. Especially the epiphone, having a solid back and sides will make the sound better over time.
I hope I helped you find what you're looking for.

Repairing Boot Soles
Started 11 months ago · Last post 11 months ago ·

Repairing Boot Soles
Started 11 months ago · Last post 11 months ago ·
I have a pair of Steve Madden Combat boots that I love so dearly. They were the first in a line of many many other pairs of various black combat style boots. But the Madden ones were always my favorite because they were my first pair and they began my love for grunge rock and many other things that have made me who I am. So as you can see I have a big "Bond" if you will, with these boots. I wore them everyday, all day, all of the time.. So if you can imagine, they got pretty beat up. One day as I was walking through a puddle, I all of a sudden felt wet on my toes.. I looked at the bottom of my boots and sure enough, there was a HUGE hole in the soles, No, not a hole.. The whole top corner of the sole had ripped from the shoe. I've been forbade to wear them again, I am determined to fix them for as little $$ as possible.
Here's a picture of the boots http://www.ebay.com/itm/300601202484?hlp=false&var=600022339747
I'll try to post pictures of the sole (If I can find out how to use this fancy computer lol)
Anyone have any ideas?
