First and foremost, I should probably introduce myself. My name's Lauren. I live on the west coast not that far from the Pacific. I'm a writer, a reader, a musician, and now a blogger. I blame my parents for giving me the creative gene, honestly. They were doomed since the beginning. My mom was a theater and music major while my dad was a history and theology major. Really, they weren't going to get any kids who conduct experiments in their spare time.
I have two younger sisters, a dog, and two guinea pigs. (Well, actually they're my sister's. I can't stand the little critters). I've been reading my whole life. The first book that really kick-started me into reading "big kid books" was Lord of the Rings, believe it or not. I've always had a soft spot in my heart for those books because they were the ones that introduced me into the book world. I don't think I would've ever picked up Harry Potter, or Percy Jackson, or the Hunger Games trilogy if it hadn't been for those books.
I'm a writer as well. I have finished two books and am working on the third. I hope to keep people updated if they're interested to see how my writing process is coming along and what's going on inside my head. Seriously, there's so much. Sometimes I feel like my brain's about to explode.
So, this blogging thing...let's see how it goes. I guess we're just one big mess of people creating something that we're passionate about. And right now seems like a good time for me to get on that band-wagon and see where it ends up taking me.
