Hmm, well, I'm tall, about 5 foot 6, give or take a few centimetres, I'm blonde and one side of my head is shaved, which I think is pretty cool haha and I have blue eyes. That's what you'd notice if you saw me in a crowd but if you talked to me, you'd see I can pretty weird and sometimes awkward, but I love talking to people and making new friends, I guess I'm an open person, which sometimes turns around and bites me and I've been hurt because of that before but I don't care haha. I don't care about a lot of things, I'm practically care free. I don't get upset if someone insults me or anything, that's good I guess haha. If I had enough money, I'd build myself a home library and buy loads of books, and right now I don't so I guess that's on my future to-do list. I love books, music, singing and writing. And of course, food and sleep.
: Probably the shaved side haha. Then it'd be the smile on my face or the bored look on my face (It depends what situation I'm in) and then it could be my clothes or maybe my laugh, which is really really loud and sometimes I squeal and it's kinda funny
: Well, first of all I started off with amberr1D but then I changed that a year later to xAmberr_1Dx because obviously, I was writing One Direction fanfics then and I changed it to spraythesun because I wanted to start writing teen fic and I didn't want a One Direction username to go with it, so then I changed it and since we're in summer, I wanted to put something to do with summer haha.
I started writing when I was twelve and first of all I wrote on this thick pad of paper that I got off a market and I started writing a whole different fanfic than the ones I've got posted. I've never posted that one and in the end I left it and wrote IGBY so yeah haha. Then I just kept writing and getting more practise, which is good and here I am now haha.
Pt2. I got into writing because well, it made me feel free and made me deal with different situations and make up ways to deal with it. I love making up situations and creating characters. It's really fun and I love it a lot, it means quite a lot to me. I'd love to make a career out of it to be honest, but of course, I'm not sure if I'll be able to. It's a difficult industry and as much as I love it, I'm not sure if my ideas would be worthy of becoming books or anything. I guess all I can do is try though haha.
I've been told they do, but I'm not sure how, I guess because people read them and think, oh well I could do this and then maybe they start writing and they feel good about themselves. There are some good authors on here who write fanfics that have told me I've inspired them so I suppose it's just that, that they love mine and decide to write their own. I think they help because I write about usual life situations and they can relate to them.
I would write for a social cause, yes and I'd write for any because I'd love to help out the people in need and give information about them and how others can help. I'd love to!
The best thing would be the feedback and people telling you how much they like your work haha also the writing, the writing is fun and it's cool when you plan things out and they come out like you want them to. The worst would be the writer's block (which, thankfully, I don't get a lot of.) or the horrible comments people sometimes make but the haters are even worse and are uncalled for, just saying. But yeah, there really isn't a bad thing about writing, not for me anyway.

I have a weird habit of always putting 'haha' after a sentence to make it sound less dry and mean, I just can't seem to help myself. I'm obviously trying right now though, or else the paragraphs would be full of 'haha' and that'd look weird. In writing I have a habit of describing the characters in the first two or three chapters because I like to make sure the readers know what the characters look like so they can picture them.
pt 2. I would say that I love them so freaking much and they're the best things on the planet and I'd say thank you so much because they've got me to where I am now and it means the world to me. Yes I do, even though I don't use it much haha they're Ambots. <3
On wattpad, not many people I don't think. I don't really get inspired by people that easily. I guess my friends are what push me and tell me to carry on and encourage me but if I had to say anyone I'd say my friend BelWatson because she's a great writer and her English is brilliant, I mean, it isn't even her mother language. In real life I'd have to say John Green or Meg Cabot or Cassandra Clare, my favourite writers.
pt. 2. My hobbies include reading, writing, listening to music, fan-girling over books and bands, singing, eating and sleeping. I love to sleep. I like to run but since I'm so lazy, I barely get out of my house, oops. One of my favourite things to do is just curl up in bed with a great book and a hot chocolate by my side or eating when I'm really hungry, the pleasure is huge haha. Things I hate; my friends saying I'm boring or a shit when I don't wanna go to their houses because I live in the countryside and it's a twenty minute walk and I don't have any other means of transportation and I can't be bothered; my parents not letting me do something I really wanna do; my parents getting mad at me because I got mad at them; and annoying people who won't shut up after I give them a hint.
I also love tattoos and ear piercings
Wow, 20 facts is gonna be hard haha. Uhm I'll try! They may not be dark though.
~ I have a huge collection of Eeyore teddy bears in my room. He's my favourite Disney character.
~ I also have a huge collection of Forever Friends teddy bears in my room handed down to me from my mum.
~ I don't have a quick temper, so I can keep my calm but if someone pushes me to the limit, I snap and you seriously don't wanna see that.
~ I dislike the stringy, chewy fat on some meat.
~ I don't like negative people, they drain me.
~ I like to imagine situations in my head.
~ I love the colour black.
~ I have a teddy bear on my bed called Tubsy, who is probably my most prized possession.
~ I quite like mythology.
~ I can be quite moody sometimes.
~ I have a habit of picking the loose skin around my nails and on my fingertips.
~ I am allergic to something, but I don't know what. Either dust or pollen or something like that.
~ I haven't cried in ages. I only ever cry when one of my family passes away.
~ I'm crazy.
~ I love tattoos, I actually have one and I'm planning for my next one!

~ I love to sing but am quite shy about my voice most of the time.
~ I am sometimes too lazy to shower and since I don't go out much, I don't lol.
~ I can't dance. I look like a psycho squirrel or something.
~ I wanna learn to play the guitar but I'm kinda lazy and I also can't afford lessons. Random, but I love pancakes with golden syrup, yum.
~ I am quite bipolar and have loads of opinions. Pt2. If it was from a doctor, he or she would say that I'm underweight (but not too thin) and should eat more (which I do, but I have a fast metabolism), need to do more exercise to keep fit and keep my body in good shape and that I have to go to the dentist to get braces and my teeth checked. I guess he'd also tell me to get my hair trimmed and the split ends cut off lol. Then he'd high five me for never breaking any bones or anything and send me off, but he (or she, sorry) would laugh at me for getting x-rays done of my feet (funny story: my mum and I went to the hospital to get x-rays done because she was worried about my two big toes, one being longer than the other. She was worried about the short one. But it's just a funny defect I have, there's nothing wrong with it haha).
To get out of writer's block, all you have to do is plan what you want the chapter(s) to be about. That's what I do when I don't know what to write about. Then, I build up to it, writing about a normal day situation like getting up and maybe tidying the house or going to the supermarket to buy bread for breakfast. Don't get too complicated, stay simple.
To be able to update regularly, I guess you have to organize yourself and plan, but remember that schoolwork and most times, chores, do come first. Unless you're a full time author, then I guess they don't.
Pt2. Best thing like I said before is the feedback and the actual writing because it's a lot of fun and the worst part is writer's block (which I barely get) and the horrible comments, but I don't let any of them faze me and no-one else should either! Be positive and always look on the bright side.
I'm not sure. I guess I'm unique because I laugh at almost everything, even if it's not funny. If anyone insults me, I just laugh. If I see someone doing something that is supposed to hurt me, I just laugh. And it's not because I'm trying to fake it, I really do find it funny. I'm not sure why I'm unique to be honest, I'm just me and I'm just trying to be happy haha. Maybe you could help me figure out why I'm unique? hahaha.
I have a weird habit of picking the skin around my nails and my fingertips, which I try to stop but I can't. I will do though, one day.
I think I have a weird quality about my eyes, I'm pretty sure one is slightly bigger than the other, but I don't think anyone else has noticed it. Maybe I notice it because I've stared at myself in the mirror trying to find spots or any stray eyebrow hairs. OH and people say I look a lot like Cara Delevingne, who is my woman crush.
If I could do that, I'd tell my younger self to spend much more time with my dad's parents, my nanny and grandad (that's what I call them). My family and I moved away, quite a way away and so we never saw much of the rest of our family, it was just us four, my parents, my brother and I. One time, my mum, my brother and I flew back to theirs, for Christmas and being the silly child I was (I was about eight or nine at the time), I was running around, going everywhere except sitting with them when I could. I mean, yeah I did spend time with them, but enough to make me regret that. I would tell myself to sit down and decorate the Christmas tree with my grandad and then go into the kitchen to bake with my nanny.
And another time, I'd also stop myself from throwing a bowl at my brother, which knocked his wiggly tooth out. I wasn't aiming for his face, lol. He dared me to throw it at him so I did haha. That was funny actually.
Then I'd go back to a time where I was really incredibly happy and make sure my younger self enjoys the moment.
You Only Live Once, I guess that's true but I also think you get a chance everyday to change something, anything, big or small. I try to make the most out of everyday, doing things that I wanna do and that make me feel better, like reading or writing. Some people would say that's a waste of time but if that's what I enjoy then I'm obviously gonna do it.
Probably one of John Green's because although they're mostly fiction, it's also written about life and things that happen so Looking for Alaska and Paper Towns are actually great examples. I wouldn't like TFIOS to come true though because although it's pretty realistic, it's sad.
Pt2. I love ''No shit, Sherlock'' and even though I don't think Watson says that, I still find it funny and cool.
''Live long and prosper,'' by Spock, from Star Trek.
''I fell in love with him the way I fall asleep, slowly at first then all at once,'' TFIOS, I'm not sure if I got it word by word you get my gist.
''There's no place like home,'' The Wizard of Oz. But people can have many homes, so I find that pretty nice.
''All right Mr. De Mille. I'm ready for my closeup.'' Sunset Boulevard and I don't know why I like it, I just do haha.
''Well, nobody's perfect.'' Some Like It Hot.
''...Bond. James Bond.'' I love the James Bond films, I don't even care what anyone says haha.
''Love, love means never having to say you're sorry.'' Love Story. I find this adorable.
''May the Force be with you.'' Star Wars. Just epic okay.
That's probably all of them haha I love quite a few though, oops.
I think imagination is more important because you can expand and change and be different, with knowledge (yes, that's important too because sometimes you've gotta get the facts right and stuff), you can only just be that, you can't change it or use it for something else because it's concrete and there's nothing you can do about it bc it's fact. Knowledge is important for writing, of course because you have to know about the place, for example or the food a character is eating, but imagination is better because it's free and you can do what you like with it. I love using my imagination, it's awesome.
Pt2. I write drunk because I write how it feels in my head and let everything out, every feeling, every movement, everything is how I feel in that moment and it's very liberating haha. I don't normally edit afterwards, maybe a few words here and there, grammatical errors and such, but I don't normally edit anything big because if I wrote it like that, that's how I want it, so I mostly leave it haha.
I think I'm a fairly open person who loves to help people and I'm always friendly, unless someone annoys me haha. I guess I can be funny, or so I'm told and I'm very sarcastic. I think I'm nice and very helpful, although I'm quite lazy as well, but if anyone ever needs any help, I'll try my best to help them and give them any advice they need. I'm also sometimes very 'myself' as in, I don't care if I stand out because I'm me and I won't change for anyone and as well as spending time on my own, I like that sometimes. I can be very bubbly and cheerful all the time as someone once said about me and yeah, I don't let the mean comments or anyone get to me. I think that's about it, maybe someone else would describe me better, I'm not sure haha.
Pt2. I kinda wanna be famous only so I can help people, as in, inspire others and help out charities and that sorta thing. I'd love to do that, to be honest. If I were to be famous for anything, I'd love it to be for writing and maybe singing because I love to sing but I'm not sure if I've got a nice voice or not lol but yeah. A secret dream of mine is that, to start a career in either writing or singing or maybe film and TV because I love that sort of stuff as well. A different dream of mine is to go to America for like, one whole summer and just see how Americans live and that stuff. It'd be awesome. These are dreams I have but I'm not sure if I can achieve them or not, we'll have to see!
Food = true friendship and true love so food wins.
I'm joking but if anything I'd choose true friendship because that could maybe turn into true love, but if not, I prefer to have a real friend over real love. Because friendship never truly dies, if it's real. I also love my food so that should come with the bundle, if you ask me haha.
The cover is really important because it's the first thing the readers look at, and if they don't like the look of it, they probably won't read the book or the description. Saying that though, there are some books with horrible covers (sorry) but have so many reads, which I find really weird and I don't know haha. I don't like that to be honest.
It has to be interesting and draws me in, especially the description. It has to have good dialogue, not too much narrative text because that sometimes bores me and I love teen fic books with a little love entangled in there haha. That's mainly it.

The Blood Order
"Are you coming to bed firefly?" He says to me laying his hands over my waist joining me in looking over the city. "I want to look out for a little longer if that is alright?" I mumble hoping that he heard me anyways, I wasn't ready to walk into that bedroom, and I don't think I ever would be. "Of course, I'll be getting ready for bed, come in whenever you are ready." He says confidently and walks away leaving my waist cold something for which I am grateful. Especially when my mind burns with other more dangerous thoughts. The warmth that forever lingers in the air, never burning the skin, but always reminding about what is around us. I force air into my lungs feeling the unexpected warmth fill me. He stands in the room watching me even though he said he was getting ready for bed. He is worried about me, about me jumping. I have contemplated it I will admit, but he would stop me before I fell even two feet. I was stuck, and no one could save me. Not even myself, my fucking weak self. His presence is demanding no matter where we are, but right now I could sense everything about him, and I try to suppress the unwanted feelings that curl right under my skin."Firefly? About done?" He calls out and I release my hand from the guard rail not realizing that as I looked at the lights that covered the shining city with the falling fire in the background that my subconscious was thinking about how nice it would be... how relieving it would be... to just fall. True freedom. I take a step back and wrap my hands together turning around to a fully clothed unchanged man and nod once. I could see the fear in his eyes that I would, he knows if he gave me the chance...I wasn't ready for this, but I had to survive. No matter what.Highest Ranks: #17 In Romance #5 in Soulmates

Doctors Orders | La squadra x Reader
Nobody's ever heard of a blind nurse, and quite frankly, no one would want to be a patient to one. The idea itself is ludicrous! So... Why did La Squadra employ one?
