Hey everyone! My friend referred me to this site, and I think it's really cool so far. I'm writing a series called The Chronicles of the Empowered, and I'm working on book 6 along with a prequel. They aren't that long, so when I actually publish them, I'm going to squish volumes together (1+2, 3+prequel, 4+5, 6+7, etc). I work as a cashier (my first job!) at Harris Teeter (fancy grocery store for rich people), and I have crazy new-girl hours, so the writing is going kind of slow at the moment. But it's going! If I were someone else reading my books, I'd be hooked, completely and utterly. I have a 24-year-old guy friend who loves them, along with a 12-year-old sister. I think it's safe to say they're good, especially since my guy friend doesn't bother with reading things that he doesn't totally love. I've got fantasy, suspense, violence, tragedy, romance, and even humor! I myself have both laughed my head off and cried my eyes out while writing them. I publish them as e-books as I finish them, after I draw the covers, here: https://www.smashwords.com/profile/view/elizabethwrites
Click this link to view my author profile and download free samples of my books (and then buy them, hopefully...)
Thanks for reading, I look forward to HolyWorlding with y'all! =D
Oh, and, if you are really nice, you'll post the above link to your facebook, myspace, twitter, google+, and all that good stuff. Gracias amigos!

Welcome, welcome! You'll fit right in, I have no doubts about that. :D

I applaud your progress in writing. It takes me a long time to write a novel (which is why I've never finished one yet). :P I'm too detail oriented, I think.

LOL thank y'all for the glitter, cookies, donuts and the kitten! Haha, I'm barely 5'5 and 2 of my younger brothers are taller than me, and my sis is getting there too. It's rather embarrassing... and Calen, they're not that long in the first place, I use standard 80-sheet notebooks, and sometimes (most of the time) have to add extra paper, and then they get longer as I edit, adding paragraphs and even whole chapters. I am very detailed as well-people who read them say that it feels like they are actually there ^u^ and no, I don't know my friend's user name, but I will find out!

Humph! You definitely are not that short. I'm 5'2 and both my sisters are taller than me. My little brother will probably be passing me up in a few years, too. Hopefully that will be at least 10 years though, he's only 18 months old :P.

Lol, yeah I've finally grown to an acceptable height. And if you grow 2 more inches, you'll just barely be average. 5'4 is apparently like the lowest of average height for women, or something like that. And if you wear heels or platform shoes with long pants or skirt, no one will know. ;)

I wish! I have been 5'2" since I was 13 and I am now 21. I have given up on that. I have to be content to be below average :P.

That's not short, dearie! You're actually tall in my standards (because I'm just 5'). :D And...I saw somewhere on Facebook a t-shirt that says "God lets things grow until they are perfect. Some of us didn't take as long as others." Heehee! :D :rofl:

*Has no idea how tall she is, but does know that a LOT of people are taller than her* Fun size is good. :) That's what we tell my younger sister. She's not short, just fun-sized. :D

Hi, Ima. (Do you like that nickname?)

I'm interested in reading a sample of your book. Do you want to post a bit of it in the Fireside? :)

LOL thank y'all for the glitter, cookies, donuts and the kitten! Haha, I'm barely 5'5 and 2 of my younger brothers are taller than me, and my sis is getting there too. It's rather embarrassing... and Calen, they're not that long in the first place, I use standard 80-sheet notebooks, and sometimes (most of the time) have to add extra paper, and then they get longer as I edit, adding paragraphs and even whole chapters. I am very detailed as well-people who read them say that it feels like they are actually there ^u^ and no, I don't know my friend's user name, but I will find out!


That's not short, dearie! You're actually tall in my standards (because I'm just 5'). :D And...I saw somewhere on Facebook a t-shirt that says "God lets things grow until they are perfect. Some of us didn't take as long as others." Heehee! :D :rofl:


Hahaha! That's awesome! And I'm the oldest of 6. I'm 18, and I have 4 brothers, 15, 14, 8, & 5, and a sister who is 12.


Cool! We're six kids in the family too. :D I'm the second to the eldest. There are 4 girls and 2 boys in our family. :)

wow that's a wide range of ages! And yes about the samples of my books, I've actually been posting character profiles as teasers here: viewtopic.php?f=29&t=6023
I've got my MC and my villain up there at the moment. If any of them seem to contradict themselves, it's because I don't want to give the story away (one person asked about the fact that the MC is tiny and stuff and yet can wield a sword, I told them they'd have to read the book for that.)

Since we're on the topic, my parents just planned on having kids, and ended up with me (eighteen next month) and my little brother (eight in two months)...yeah we're almost exactly 10 years apart.

My little brother is 20 years and 10 days younger than me. Mom's plan was to have four kids 18 months apart. She got the four kids they were just 4 years, 3 years, and 13 years apart :rofl:.

Oh wow O.O that's a pretty wide span of ages there! My friend has a 30-something year old sister. She just turned 17. I think she had a sibling already moved out of the house before she was even born!

Nor shudder at snow and sleet
