"I am unwritten, can't read my mind, I'm undefined. I'm just beginning, the pen's on my hand..."

Hi, there! Pen name's Alyx Hawthorne. But, please, call me Rie (pronounced like Die and not See).

I've been a long time member of FFn (I was still in grade school back then!) and I was fine reading stories written by amazing authors before. Then, there was a voice in my head that urged me to write. And I cannot resist it. Maybe I was just reading and reading stories of other people and maybe my mind just got sick of it because my imagination also has ideas she wanted to share with other people.

So, BAM!

I'm here, just beginning, with a pen on hand and a wide variety of imagination to help me get through. It has been a dream of mine to write my heart out, read my mind until it can read no more, and widen & open the horizons of my mind to its full extent. Most of my inspirations come from my collection of novels. Sidney Sheldon, Judith McNaught and Jude Deveraux are my favorite authors. I'm crazy, crazier, craaaaziest about books (obviously). If only I could just spend 24 hours snuggled on my bed, a good book in hand, and a hot choco mallow on the side table, I would have done it. Without hesitation. But, alas, our world goes around and people have to work to survive.

I don't know how it started but books became a part of me. My other half. My better half. I cannot survive a day without touching the somewhat scruffy page of a book nor without inhaling that familiar scent of it (I'm an addict, I know). I write poems, too. I have made poems dedicated to the people closest to my heart. I've just started my career in writing stories and I'm really not sure if I'm doing right... so, yeah. Please let me know if I'm doing fine or I have to forget this craziness. Hah.

I hope you'd take the time to read them. Thank you and have a wonderful journey here!

Leave a mark. XX,

Alyx Hawthorne
