HELLO

My name is Patricia. I am 17 years old.

Originally I began writing when I was probably around 8 years old, just little things here and there as they came to me.

Sadly, a fire in the house when I was ten years old destroyed all the work that I had done [I am not sure if there was anything good there or not].


Anyways, when I was 11 years old, I wrote a small collection of poems and stories entitled a Book of Short Stories and Poems with my brother. I believe it is in some library, which one I am not sure.

Right now, I am trying to focus on a story about outer space, or a story about shape shifting amazon natives. It is a hard choice, since I love the Amazon and I love outer space.

Any help with that?


Besides that, I am working on a story called Arabian Gold which is based on the life of my chestnut half Arabian stallion, FireBurn. Whose whole breeding isn't completely known but he resembles a Thoroughbred horse though he has the endurance of an Arabian.

This story is about an Arabian stallion being stolen as a weanling from his owner in Saudi Arabia, and shipped to England. There, the hybrid colt, is forced to work under a harsh trainer that continually has the animal beaten for disobeying its rider.

Finally, the stallion is entered into a race. Although winning it by a LONG margin, his right hind-hoof was shattered when he tripped and fell in the paddock.

Therefore the stallion is sold to an American breeder, who can't deal with the animal's temper. Finally, FireLion [as the horse is called in the story] is almost sent to a meat packer, but is saved from death.


That is all I can think of right now.
