 Ó˥♥²Ñ²¹°ù¾±Ó˥♥  (twilightdreamlover) | 3 comments Hi, everybody! Hey, Sam, thanks for the invite!

Well....a little bit about me....

My name is Mariangeles, which is a combination of my first and middle names, Maria de los Angeles. I'm eternally young, because Edward asked Carlisle for a favor....no, actually, it was my husband, a tall, hunky, dark-haired guy, who turned me! Lol.

My favorite books are The Twilight Saga (of course!), Jane Eyre, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, My Name Is Asher Lev....there are many more!

As for writing genres, I love poetry, and am trying my hand at fiction. I love fantasy, romance, and science fiction!

I would like to have more time to write -- I have TWO jobs! SO frustrating!! Maybe I can win the lottery or something....

Why do I love writing? Because of the flow of language, the music of words, because of the beauty of creating one's own magical worlds...because writing is pure ecstasy!!


Thomas (Marimbapanda) Hey Mariangeles!

Kayla Duff Oh really, I love the Bree Tanner Book? I like getting the backstory. And it made the movie more fun to watch.


message 26: by Hannah Shane (new)

Hannah Shane De Leon | 10 comments Oh, I didn't like it cause she was so much like Bella. I was hoping for a more vampirey vampire lol


message 27: by Kayla (new)

Kayla Duff Hehe, yeah I guess that's true. :)


message 28: by Kendra (new)

Kendra (KendraG) | 40 comments I just saw Eclipse, and I personally thought it was the best you of the three so far.


message 29: by Hannah Shane (new)

Hannah Shane De Leon | 10 comments yeah, Eclipse was so much better than twilight and new moon -where Kristen keeps sucking air every time she speaks lol xD


message 30: by Kayla (new)

Kayla Duff Definitely. It was done by a horror movie director, David Slade, so the movie was darker. They also kept a lot closer to the books than either of the other two. And I think the special effects for the wolves, the running vampires and the sparkles was much better.


message 31: by Hannah Shane (new)

Hannah Shane De Leon | 10 comments yeah, especially the sparkles xD

message 40: by Jim (new)

Jim (jimmaclachlan) Thanks for the invite, Lynn.

I'm Jim, 51 years old, married for 28, have 3 grown kids. (Well, the girl is a junior in college living with her boyfriend, but the boys are completely on their own.) The rest of the family are: 3 horses, 1 pony, 4 dogs & 2 goats. I'm a sys admin by day & have a small farm with a large workshop, a small woods, many flower gardens & several ponds. All that keeps me entirely too busy maintaining it to write properly, but I try.

My favorite books are a tough one. Depends on the genre & the day. Roger Zelazny is probably my overall favorite author since I'm never sure if his stuff is fantasy, SF, S&S or what. I guess his Lord of Light & This Immortal are two of my favorites. The Einstein Intersection by Samuel R. Delany is another, but I'm currently re-reading the entire Matt Helm (an American James Bond) series by Donald Hamilton & loving it.

Genre of writing... well, I've published one YA fantasy short story & several nonfiction pieces on woodworking, trees & computers, but those genres are not my main love.

The projects I'm working on now are a crime/thriller/action novel that started out as one short story, became four, none of which fit any marketable lengths, so I'm gluing them together into a novel. It's almost ready for a friend of mine to proof. I'm also taking the same character into a fantasy world novel. That's a story/world that's been kicking around in my head for about 30 years...

One reason why I love writing? Ugh. No clue. I don't think I do. Sometimes I just have to, though. It's kind of like going to the bathroom; I must or I'll explode.


message 41: by Sache (new)

Sache (sarawtflmao) Name: Sarah

Genre of writing: fantasy? I wrote anything that's on my mind.
Any projects you are working on now: just trying to write some short stories. did tweets on twitter count? :P

One reason why you love writing: because I just like it. not that I'm good, I'm new in writing department. :)
