Against All Odds

"Hey there! So, I noticed you've been reading my best friend's (foxinsocks) story, and giving her amazing feedback. I just wanted to say thank you because she's been really happy that she's been getting so much good feedback, and I love it when she's happy so thanks! :)"

It was the best message I'd ever received on my Wattpad wall, and it was all because I'd decided to adopt foxinsocks as my own little protegee.

Truthfully, I'm not really qualified to call her that. I'm nobody special. I'm an amateur writer with big dreams and a little bit of vision to keep that passion burning. But, other than an open heart and a little bit of knowledge about the English language, I wasn't someone trusted to give advice. So when I opened foxinsocks' first story, I didn't expect to make a big difference in anyone's life. All I did was give her some writing advice. I did what I wanted someone to do for me. I didn't realize how much that would affect my life, and my confidence.

Love Unknown

Love. It's probably the greatest unsolved mystery of the hopeless romantic's mind.

There are those who claim that love is no mystery. It's something you wait for, and when it appears, it's obvious. They say "You'll know it when you feel it".

They're lying.

Who Am I?

I have a tale to spin, that to some would be confusing, but to me is as natural as breathing. My name is not in fact Lola Hatter; it is my stage name. But that stage name has a back story.

I will not bore you with the tale of how Lola Hatter the Mad Hatter's daughter came to exist in the minds of my theatre company, but I do feel compelled to illuminate who the character is, in her entirety.
