Nice to meet another Doctor Who fan! I am from Romania and here the show isn't so popular. Are you a classical series fan, do you also read Doctor Who related books?
Your story sounds great, it's been a while since reading something as refreshing as Ballet Shoes.
Good luck with your writing, Anna!

Hello, I'm Brigid. :)1. I'm about to finish my first year at Hampshire College.
2. I'm the oldest of six kids.
3. I'm an aspiring author. I've written a bunch of novels but none of them are publish-worthy as of yet...
4. I'm addicted to music. I have an obsession with finding about new bands/artists, and I'm pretty much listening to something all the time. (Right now I'm listening to The Killers!) I like pretty much like all music ... there are very few exceptions. Haha.
5. I love drawing, but I'm kind of torn about how much I want to study art. On one hand, I love it a lot ... on the other hand, I'm not sure how much I'm going to use it in the future. And writing takes top priority, and it's so time-consuming. :P
So yeah, I guess that's it!
Wow, good luck with your last couple weeks at school :)
Thanks! I'm actually only going to be done in two days ... In fact, my classes have already ended. I just have to turn in one portfolio for a class on Friday, so I'm finishing up all my work for that ... :)
Wowowow! so exciting!! That's truly a huge accomplishment, well done :)
Aw, thank you. :) Haha. I can't believe my first year is ending already. ... College just goes by a hundred times faster than high school!

Hope this helps everyone learn a little about me :)
Hey Connie! You should write your stories anyway because no one will write exactly like you, have the same voice, or create the characters that are in your head.
hi newcomers, great to have you all
