Profile
My name is Amanda. I’m a senior in high school and will be starting college this fall. I’m majoring in humanities with a minor in psychology. I have absolutely no idea what I really want to do with my life, but I love music (I play the bass guitar) and I love to write.
Right now, I’m working on a novel about a boy named Spencer who runs away after his mother dies and his father becomes abusive. He meets up with a group of runaways called The Drift, which is led by a boy named Tanner Dwight. His faith is tested, as well as his grasp on reality. Eventually, he’s taken in by an elderly couple and he’s forced to confront his past by going back to Omaha when his dad commits suicide.
I’m not sure where it’s going, though, haha.
Aside from my future plans and my writing, I’m a pretty nice person. I like to help people and I love to talk. I don’t take kindly to people who try to take their bad days out on me. I also don’t like it when I’m sworn at and I make that known. I’m pretty blunt about how I feel towards people and I don’t care what people think about that. I am me and am very proud of the fact. I spent too much time being shy in the past.

The Queen
She has time in her pocket and God on speed dial, both of which she got while dying on the kitchen floor. Now Forever is her kingdom and the only thing she fears is her daughter going to a big city wi…
Untitled Part One
The damp sand curled in between my toes, molding around them like plaster of Paris. This was the first time I’d been back to this beach, to this country even, since she’d left. She left wi…
Sunshine
Sunshine ghosts in on waves of tumbling dust / To press soft morning kisses to freckled cheeks, / As brown curls fall over nightmare hushed lids / Which hide blue-eyed dreams from the sunrise. Guit…
Dirt
Your eyes are the color of dirt, / Not very pretty, but full of life. / When you giggle, they get smaller / And turn into glittering beetle bugs. When you’re angry, they harden, / Becoming sl…
Forget
Life is hard; any old fool could tell you that. It’s full of ups and down like friend drama, your mom hating you, and cancer. It wears on a person after awhile and then all they feel like doing …
