Hello! My name is Ashley and I'm currently twenty years old. (anxiously waiting for my 22 birthday because.. well.. if you don't get the reference we can't be friends.) All my life I've been a reader- even have awards for it omfg so lame ashley - and at a young age I began wanting to create my own worlds, escape to far off lands and leave the bitter life behind. So.. I started writing. It soon became a passion of mine and I spent days writing, going through complete notebooks, and having endless files saved on my laptop. A few years ago, I drifted away from it, got lost in a world of grey depression and crippling anxiety. I lost all muse to write, pretty much. It wasn't until this past year that I started working on characters on an RP site that I realized I missed how it felt to write. How the sound of constant tapping of computer keys is actually somewhat therapeutic. Thus began the journey of relearning how to write a proper story, characters, and keeping things interesting. I feel like I'm slowly on my way of finally doing what I've wanted to do my whole life: write and publish something. A book with my name on it. To wander through a library and find my book. Ah, the dream. For now, here I am. Keep your fingers crossed! -does so-  On the side, however, I do enjoy creating graphics for myself and other people. Dabbling in photoshop and bringing to life my characters is soothing. You can find me on shadowplay and deviantart almost ALL the time, because I'm just wanting to become better and better everyday. And the improvement, UGH, amazing.
