Hi! So hey, I'm Tonya Ray, or TRayxx (that's what I call myself, but I don't like dinosaurs and it doesn't actually sound like T-Rex.)

My fave genres are: Romance (Historical, Contemporary, and other stuff), Young Adult, Mystery, Sci-Fi, and Thriller. That would explain my deep affection to Detective Conan, Kaitou Kid, the Lunar Chronicles--my most favorite series-- and Sherlock Holmes. I'm not interested in action and boy friendship developments, but I do love Prince of Tennis. Believe me, it's only because I'm attracted to Ryoma and his playing style. AND his innocent relationship with Sakuno. And, UGH, they just won't do something good. Like romance good. Then I knew I just had to satisfy myself with this.

So did my writing career began. I went through rapid growth in the writing field. Firstly, I got busy watching anime but it became a hassle that I shifted to manga. Now, manga/manhwa became boring because I felt like I already read every single romance manga out there. I'm picky.

Then, I watched anime again and remembered Prince of Tennis. Ryoma was actually a childhood crush because the anime is very old. No offense. I didn't finish it because it was all matches, which is true for having an Action Category and no Romance. I wanted Romance out of that, so I searched Google about any manga and I eventually got to fan fictions. Before that, I didn't know fan fictions existed. I was curious so I tried reading one. It was from this site, by the way. It was all English, and I liked it.

Wattpad came, as I was introduced by my friends. I was seventh grade, I think. Or sixth, I can't remember. But I visited that site and I actually liked it. I momentarily forgot about fan fictions. The first novel I read there was English then I was said to read the Tagalog stories. It was fun but I got bored. Filipino stories there are so cliche and had a lot of chapters that even exceeded a hundred. I can't believe I even wrote a Tagalog story that is a copy of those cliche romances. I turned into a critique as I read English stories again. Suddenly, I felt like I already read every good romance story there is on that website. I watched anime again. Then manga, and then back to this place.

I have been trying to finish a novel but I can't finish one so I'm trying to make a goal. One novel due March 2015 and then I'll make a new one, since I have this habit of creating a new story line before I sleep. It actually affected me greatly that I now have insomnia. The doctor did a great job helping me get over this, really. It's almost as if nothing happened. (Nothing did happen, trust me. Next time you see the doctor, don't just say yes. Contradict him/her sometimes.)

But stars, I never got to finish that novel. The critic in me had set up such high standards, and I concluded that the novel I wrote wasn't good enough. So I'm currently researching, expanding my knowledge about the writing thing... it's really hard to get by now.

ABOUT MY WORKS..., I know, I know. I am a great example of a horrible person. I just can't be content with only Prince of Tennis characters-- I just had to involve other people in the loop. And I'm super slow. God, I know. I'm sorry, but I'll be honest: I actually make three or at least two versions of a chapter and the I'll be handpicking which one is best, and honestly? They're terrible. I can't get them to move. (Oh my God, I can't believe I said that. I sound like a real writer having real writer problems.)

Okay. So. I don't know what just happened, but school's starting again and I'll be stuck in it for two more goddamn years. K-12 is a good thing. It'll help me get ready for college better than just graduate and step to the next phase of my life. I'm scared to go to college. I feel like someone is going to rape me there. Sorry, I shouldn't have said that. Now you'll all think I'm crazy.
