Hi, I'm Jakki :)
Hey guys! I have to say that I am really excited about this forum. This is the first writing forum I've ever been on and I think it will help me a lot in the long run, not only posting my stuff up here and getting feedback, but also reading all of your guys stuff! There are a lot of incredible writers on here and I am just so excited to learn from you all! I wish I could read all of it lol, but I don't have time. One or two stories a day takes up all the free time I have... let alone critiquing them, which takes like forever! lol
well... hehehe…I hope you guys enjoy my stuff 
-Jakki

Welcome, Jakki. I am glad that you have had such an enjoyable experience so far. With that kind enthusiasm, you should be able to take your writing to a higher level in time and maybe help a few others along the way. If you ever need anything, please feel free to contact a Mentor or a Moderator.
See you around.

Hello, Jakki! Welcome to the forums!
It's always good to have another enthusiastic member. Trying to read evrything here does take to much time, that's where a lot of my writing time goes.  There are plenty of knowledgeable people here that will be more than happy to help you along your way. I look forward to seeing your work. Have fun and I'll see you around.

hey guys.... ya wanna know something about me? lol
Well, I love to dance. I'm taking 4 dance classes at school next semester and I'm so excited! hehe I mostly dance Jazz and Ballet. I've tried to enter into that whole hip hop dance scene, but I'm really not that great. Haha, I'd put myself on Made from MTV but there have already been too many 'I wanna be made into a hip hop dancer' girls out there, so I guess I'm kinda out of luck in that area. I'm a creative writing major and a dance minor and I really hope to be a professional writer one day. I'm gonna go all the way with school and get my PhD (lol i love school btw, hehe so it's not that bad) and hopefully become a professor and teach at Stanford or UCLA or UCSB (oooh wouldn't that be nice!  )... and since you have to publish work when you're a professor, lol i'm thinking this will be a really big incentive for me to try as hard as i can to get something out there.
i love to read... so much that i think my friends think i'm a bit odd. i love learning about politics. i've always wanted to change the world and i hope to do that with my writing.
well, lol there you go.
other than my obsession with clothes and harry potter (hahaha),
ya got to know a little about me

Hey! I attended UCSB (Go Gauchos!) for one year...but, you know, out of state tuition was kicking my ass. One of the most beautiful campuses I've ever seen...and I won't even get into the parties in IV. I'd love to go back to SB someday...you know, when I'm rich and don't have to share a 2 bedroom apartment with 5 other people. Good times. Anyway, good luck!
