My name Micheal E Crum, I'm 25 years old, and writing is my life it's what I plan to do for a living. Right now I'm learning the fine art of writing screenplays, and hoping that one of them gets made into a movie.

Hello :3 I'm just random schoolgirl here, somewhere in Singapore, most probably daydreaming in class right now. I really love writing, but I can't say I have much time for it. School is really stressful and I'm currently buried alive in an avalanche of homework and exams. I write really slowly too. Most of the time, I'll begin to hate my writing about 10 minutes after I wrote it. Then I'll start getting really insecure and not know how to improve it. Even after I post it online, I most probably won't work up the courage to re-read them again. If you have any suggestions as to how my writing might be improved, feel free to pm me or say it in the reviews :) I guess 90% of the stuff I'll be writing will be emotional one-shots or poems, probably inspired by some piece of music or another. I simply love music, (as you can tell from my pen name) Classical or modern. I play the piano -- I'd like to think I'm not too bad at it. And the cello too, though to be honest, I'm pretty certain that I'm one of the worst cellists on earth. My favorite books include Harry Potter, Kane Chronicles, Companions Quartet, Pretty Little Liars, and almost everything by Jodi Picoult. They're awesome! :) Here's something I'd like to say about flames. I pretty ok with flames, as long as it actually states what's so bad about the story. For example, "your character sucks she's such a Marie-Sue" or "this story shouldn't even be published, everyone is totally unrealistic!" are quite harsh, but they still state why the story is bad. Such as the character being too perfect, etc. I can tolerate flames like these. However, I really cannot stand or make sense of flames that just hate on the story or writer for no apparent reason. For example, flames that only state: "this sucks you should go die" or "you should delete your account" are pretty unreasonable, in my opinion. They aren't even counted as proper "reviews", anyway. Please read and review my stories :) I really appreciate reviews -- even flames that state why the story sucks. Here's a note to many writers I've seen who get really discouraged by flames: Don't feel this way. Do the best you can to improve, and don't care about what others think. You write to enjoy, and to appreciate the art and fun of it -- not purely to please others. And just think about it this way: if the flamer has so easily made you upset, they've already won, haven't they? Hold your head up and keep going on!
