So, like I mentioned in my previous note, I love to write books!
What genre do I write? Well, to be honest...all kinds! Currently, I'm working at a ton at once (I do that a lot when I write), because there are so many different ideas that hit me. I have two right now that I am determined on getting done, because I told my friend (who went away to college) that I would try and write two books for her so that when she comes home, she will have something to read. :D One is called Mine, and the setting is in the most fantastic place in the world - the Netherlands!!! :D :D To sum it up, it really focuses on the fact that anything in this world can be taken from you at any time. However, it's mainly romance, and it has some humor and tragedy in it as well :)
I'm also writing a book called The Shadow Girl. It deals with a lot of issues going on today - abuse, religion, suicide, and the control certain people can have over you. It's primarily a depressing story, but it has some hopeful aspects in it as well.
I have several others that I've been working on for sometime now. One is about a school shooting (I've been working on it since May), and I got inspired to write it when I started researching Columbine for a school project. Another deals with the controversial subject of abortion - it's probably the most original idea I've ever had, and for the first time in all my years of writing, the main character is a guy. I'm also writing a romance, but it's really different too. It actually kind of fantasy/sci-fi, but the story itself is pretty interesting.
And of course I have some smaller ones in the process of developing. I have written fantasy before, as well as sci-fi, thrillers, romance, and suspense. I love reading books that keep you on the edge of your seat, so I thrive to place that same feature into my own stories.
Oh well, that's pretty much it :) I might, once I get the courage, post a few paragraphs of one...depends on what kind of reading you like :D

I'm the gypseh......
Hey! So I'm obviously the gypseh, and all my friends want me to make a blog :O so........I did! :D
A little bit about me.....
I'm a pretty random and crazy person (hence the name, gypseh.) I love traveling (specifically Europe), learning foreign languages, writing stories, drawing, running, photography, theater, music, singing, sketching, and talking! Right now I'm trying to teach myself Dutch, which isn't going to bad right now, and one day I would love to be able to speak like seven different languages fluently :p. Some that I'm interested in are Spanish (which I'm taking in school), Dutch (of course), German, French, Italian, and Swedish. Who knows when I'll ever get the time to learn all of them, but I think it would be cool if I did. :D
I've been to the Netherlands and England, and I've fallen in love with Europe ever since. I have a possibility of going to Germany this year, which makes me very excited! I love traveling in general, and the fact that I get to spend a week in Europe every year makes everything awesome!
I want to become an author one day - I've loved writing ever since I was born. In fact, my mom said that before I could write, I would make picture books with characters I made up. I also love reading too...Barnes and Noble is amazing, and I could live there forever...some of my favorite authors are Jodi Picoult, Stephenie Meyer, JK Rowling, Alice Sebold, Rachelle Mead, and Robin Jones Gunn. And I love movies as well - so I pretty much LOVE stories in general, and making them up.
I'm not very good at sports, but I enjoy running a lot. I'm not in track or anything, but during my free time, I like to run a good four to five miles ;).
Music is also a huge part of my life....I play piano, the clarinet, I sing, and I listen to music every day. I come from a very musical family, and a lot of people in it have an incredible amount of talent. My cousin and some of my uncles are professional singers, they've even made albums, and pretty much anyone can sing really well. I love to sing myself - I got inspired when I saw Phantom of the Opera for the first time when I was twelve, and I've continued practicing ever since. I was in our school musical this past spring, which was Cinderella, and I LOVED it! I was cast as the Queen, which was really fun! :D. Speaking of musicals, I also love theater! Mostly musicals, because it combines my love for acting and my passion for music in one amazing production. I love being in them too!
I also like photography, which comes in handy when I visit other countries. Sometimes I get this "vibe" where I pick up my camera and just go out and take pictures to my heart's content.
Sketching is also a fav. I usually draw realistic pictures of people. I need something to look at, but I can get a good sketch (if I'm dedicated) done in a day or so, depending on how detailed it is.
And I'm a Christian :) Jesus is my life. I love Him so much, and I'm so thankful for the wonderful life he has given me. I couldn't be anything without Him!
Well, I think that's a good summary of me........a little longer than I expected, but oh well, I'm new to this :p
