Lauren's+Literary+Loft

 Welcome to my page! Thank you very much for visiting. I apologize that this page is still under construction. Anyway, I am Lauren McCarthy, the girl in the back of Mr. DeVirgilis’ second period GATE class who cannot seem to understand the words “writing” and “moderation” in the same sentence. I live to read, and I write to live. No, perhaps it’s the other way around. Either way, I do love reading and writing, and I would most likely be unable to survive without these aspects of life. I also enjoy finding unusual words and clever quotes. I am not sure how often I will post my work on this page, but please enjoy (or hate, whichever you please) what I do post.

Hi Elfin Friend! <3 Emma

" It is better to deserve honors and not to have them than to have them and not deserve them." ~ Mark Twain "The brain is wider than the sky." ~ Emily Dickinson "If the person you are talking to doesn't appear to be listening, be patient. It may simply be that he has a small piece of fluff in his ear." ~ A.A. Milne "Very few of us are what we seem." ~ Agatha Christie My favorite quotes currently reside here. :)

 Well, congratulations on surviving my tedious introduction. Anyways, if you are brave enough to continue, there are a few other pieces of information of which I think you should be aware. As of right now, I have only posted eight of my works, and I hate them all. Honestly, it is highly unlikely that I will ever post my favorite writings on this website. Why? If you are curious enough, then I am sure that you will figure out the answer on your own. I doubt that I will ever post a full-length novel on here either, mostly for your own good. Sorry, I just don't want any of you to waste your precious time reading nearly two hundred pages of a book that I wrote in fifth grade. You may continue now, if you like, although I would not recommend it. Don't say I didn't warn you.

You are now welcome to take a daring turn onto the cryptic lane of poetry. On this winding path, also known as Lauren's Favorite Poems, you may stumble upon verses by Emily Dickinson, A.A. Milne, Robert Frost, and others.
