Chapter 1

The meaning of the title of the post is simple in my mind. I like to think of my life as a book, so this is the start of it. And yes, I am a writer. That's the first thing you know about me I guess. Let's go over the simple facts.

Hello, my name is Maddy Iverson. I'm 13 years-old even though I act like much older due to my experiences and the books and movies I've read. I know things most people my age don't. I found out the hard truth from writing and reading at an early age.

As I've been bringing it up a lot, I must put in that I write books and fanfiction on Wattpad. I'm working on one called Abused, it's a One Direction fanfiction. But not all that I write is fanfiction. As well as Abused, I am working on a story called The English Teacher with my friend - Lizzy Chalupsky - and right now we're on the 15 chapter which I'm working on. 

I don't exactly know why I started a blog; I was bored I guess. I've been writing in a diary for a month but that isn't just doing it for me. Plus, this is harder for other people to find. It's more private yet a lot more public. 

I currently reside in Minnesota, the city is unknown for the internet for privacy purposes. I know, I'm caring about privacy when I'm posting my thoughts and actions onto the internet. But I do think that you knowing I'm from Minnesota is good enough. I'm not happy with living here, in Minnesota. I'd love to live in London. Something about it captivates me, something about it makes me dream to live there. And someday, I will. 

Someday I'm hoping to get a flat (apartment) in London with a cat named Sherlock. I want a large bookcase filled with only the best of books. I want to live the life I think I deserve. When I think of it, it reminds me of a life you'd read about in a book. 

You know, a young adult living with herself and a cat, spending her days writing and reading. Drinking tea without a care in the world. Other than my job, that is. 

It seems that I have my whole life planned out but I know for a fact it won't turn out that way. 

Enough with my future, let's talk about what's really important: now. 

As well as reading, writing, and tumblr, I also enjoy singing a little bit. Okay, that's an understatement. I've been singing since I was about 6 I believe. I used to watch American Idol with my dad on the TV and I told myself back then "I'm going to impress Simon Cowell someday". With my singing of course. I forgot about that dream for awhile and then the X Factor came along with One Direction making it's way into my life where I was reunited with my dream. So I'm now working on my singing voice and I'm hoping to audition for the X Factor someday. It would be lovely to tell people my story. 

So since I haven't got another clue about what else to write about and the fact that I need to write 2 chapter tonight, I'm going to leave this here.

Love, 

Maddy Iverson
