Hey my name is Dayla ^^as you can tell, hehe.

I remember when I was younger I wanted to be an artist, but then tragedy hit my family and writing and I became very well acquainted. It all started with a little diary with an angel on either side. Though I do look back on it every so often and realize that it is merely 12 year-old scribblings, I do see that my fascination with writing was slowly taking over-- from countless stories about how my day had gone to silly childhood crushes--they all had a story line and a bit of dialogue.

I have gone through many different writing styles... some I have found work for me, while others not so much... hence the unfinished stories :)

I am currently in University trying to survive while trying to keep my stories updated! I am trying to improve with every poem and every story, so hopefully it starts to show! And, as is the case occasionally, I tend to disappear for days at a time, either because I don't feel inspired or because I am way to busy with school/life/reading. I'm a kid at heart and barely act my age, but I love writing romantic dramas, teenage dramas, or anything that catches my attention. I may try out a fad, like vampires and angels. But I will probably leave the story unfinished.

I am a stickler for little things on here. I feel that anything below a 3 needs a comment, and that criticism is welcome, but if it is to just bomb what I've written, then well, it is criticism I can live without :) Because one thing is to criticize, another is to hate on :)

Below are some of my unfinished stuff... not all of them though. I have made the long list short because, being frank about this, the others will probably never get finished. 

Current Projects:

• Asteri-->The story of an orphaned girl who finds her biological father and her first love all in the span of one summer. 
• Kate Porcelain (Preview available only while working on Asteri)
• Cassie Holmes (preview available only while working on Asteri)
• Adelaine Marie-How would you feel if a ghost asked you for help when you have just moved to a new house, new school, and a new life? Yeah, ask Adelaine, she might tell you.
• Laurie Tamer- Just your typical unpopular girl who lives a typical middle class life... with a Hollywood teenage heartthrob living in the house next door... could things get anymore out of the normal for Laurie?

• Angel Child- Angels are a rare find. The future offers the vision of actual angels born upon us, but is the world really safe enough for them?.

• The Truth Series- Two sisters fight the things that we don't see in the dark, unknown to the world. Everyday we may count as a survivable day since we never truly know what may be out there. Lauren and Callie Jones are on a mission, and your life may land in their hands. You're not afraid are you?

• Confessions Of A Boy Addict- Hey there, I'm D. You can call this a blog, a story; whatever. These are my confessions of my life without boy drama (or me trying to give up on boy drama), can you follow along?
• Lorena Torrez- Continuation of Jenna Louise, part two, life after Jenna. Written in the story Jenna Louise.
• Magic by Blood- A different kind of magic story

Amazingly, because I patted myself on the back, I finished these stories! Hopefully, in the near future I will be adding more to my portfolio! But for now, please check these out! I really really appreciate it when one of you gives one of my finished stories a chance, so thank you!

Finished Projects

• Jenna Louise- After witnessing her father's death in a horrific accident, Jenna is changed forever. What is unknown is what happened in between the time that she moved to Toronto and after the accident. Michael Torrez is trying to figure out just that while slowly falling in love with her. 
• Avery Jones- Avery has lost her first love and is trying to deal when her parents decide to get away to Pueblo, Florida near Miami for a little relaxation from the year's tragedy. There she meets attractive and outgoing Alex, a local with a bit of a past. Can these two completely different people save each other from their pasts? Or will they just be another Local and Outsider summer fling?

Collaborative Project

• The Train: All souls have a destination, and the train and its faithful conductor will always be waiting.

Some more random facts about me would include that I am in love with monkeys, I tend to bring in past experiences into my writing, Dan Brown is making me crave taking a class about symbols, I have about five or more books in my bookcase with bookmarks still in them at the places that I have stopped. I also buy a million books at once because I hate the idea of running out of something to read, it is just scary! I also have good memory for useless things, important things such as: names, birthdays, and serious things usually escape my memory.

I also really appreciate everyone who takes time out of their day to check out my stuff, it means the world to me to see your feedback since I am always looking for some guidance in my writing since it is still amateur!

Below are some of my favorite authors. These are not all of them, because I have a lot, or because sometimes I only tend to like one book from one author. Also, some of these authors' writing style has helped shape my own and by reading their amazing books I am overwhelmed with tremendous fear because their writing is so well done and intense excitement because I want to be like them!

Some Favorite Authors

• Nicholas Sparks
• J.K Rowling
• Meg Cabot
• Sophie Kinsella
• Dan Brown
• Emily Giffin
• Sarah Dessen 

So yeah, I guess, that's me in a nutshell. A very small one mind you. :)
