This Is Me
Hi! As I sit here writing this, I'm starting to realize I'm a pretty boring person. I'm 16, unemployed (mostly), and I spend most of my free time studying or writing.
I don't lead an exactly exhilarating life, and because of both that and the way I was raised I've developed a vivid imagination and use the arts as an output for my life problems.
Currently, I plan to make this a lifestyle/ fiction blog, as a way for me to help make myself better, and hopefully help someone in the progress, and as a way for me to work on my writing. I love writing and am currently in the planning phases of a novel, so in between various poems and other short stories, I will post a chapter a week of the work in progress. I'm definitely going to integrate my other hobbies in on some days, so there's likely going to be a lot about running, photography and the other simple joys from day to day (Food. I mean food.)
Like I said, I'm a boring person, but I still do some things. I'm currently working towards my associate's degree in high school, learning French and American Sign Language, run Track and Field, and still spend tons of time each week writing or using some other artistic output
Man is a Banksy, but sketched by me onto the canvas
I will post every day unless I end up getting some (unlikly) demand, then I'll post more than once a day with a bit more variety in subjects. But until then, I'll be posting a new chapter of my novel every Saturday, and some other work or post every day the rest of the week.
Cheers,
Ali

Welcome :) joining the community was the first steps. Way to go...
Thanks :)
Hi Ali how are you? Really nice intro, i love it ! I’m a new user as well and would like to connect with other cool steemians, artists and musicians. I’m posting music tutorials and other things related to music (and bitcoins:p). I’m the founder of the free music school communicasound. I'm really pleased to meet you. So i give you my vote, follow you and i will be happy to read your next posts in the futur. If you want, you can do the same and follow me. It’s important to have a family in Steemit :) Greetings from Paris. Peace.
Welcome to steemit,
Welcome to Steemit, @ainsleyalice. I'm sure you will love it here. It's nice to meet another writer. I've published two novels, but am experimenting with posting my third novel here, a chapter a day. I just published Chapter 10 today.
I'm going to follow you, and if you want to have me read or critique (offer advice) on any of your writing, please let me know. If you want to follow me and give me your opinion on the novel I'm posting here, that would be cool, too. I've been on here since August of 2016, and it's fun. You will meet a lot of cool people on Steemit.
Welcome!
Wow! Thank you so much. I'd love to read your work, and I'll definitely give my opinion. I'm deep into editing a short story right now and should get it finished and posted by the end of tomorrow, and after I'm out of classes and finished with that I'll look at your writing. I'm always willing to help a fellow writer out :)
welcome in steemit ali..goodluck..
Awesome!
Sounds great. We can help each other. It's always good to find fellow writers for encouragement and to help make our writing better. Sometimes, it takes a fresh set of eyes to see things we don't see with our work (even after editing it a million times). :)
Welcome! great idea to jump on here and express yourself...I am also trying to do the same but no way near as talented as you! amazing art!
Hello Alice, I'm Oatmeal Joey, and I love your drawing and I love to draw and I like write too. Take care.
And welcome to this place and good work. You are younger than me but you are talented.
Welcome to Steemit @ainsleyalice!
I wish you much success and hope you find Steemit to be as rewarding and informative as I have. @bycoleman
Nothing boring in you @ainsleyalice! And what surprised me more is when you defined yourself as "16 years old, unemployed". Well... HOPEFULLY YEAH! at 16 no one should be working, we should be taking this time to study and figure out who we are :) So, no stress: looking forward to reading more from you and if you need help with French, let me know :)
followed
:) welcom!!
