| Mother Nature |
Author has written 47 stories for General, Horror, Historical, Life, War, Nature, Love, General, Fantasy, Religion, Family, and Friendship. Hey all, I'm Mother Nature (I know, a bit presumptuous, but hey, it's just a pen name) and I've only just come back to FictionPress. Writing has always been a beloved hobby of mine - hopefully I'll finally start making more time for it. I work as a research and field linguist. Likes: The outdoors and outdoor activities Dislikes: Ignorance Current Status: I used to write ALL the time, but as school and work have taken their fair (or unfair) share of my time, I seem to be over taxed and my ideas don’t flow as they should. Well, I should say, they flow as well as they always have, just now I’m either too busy, too tired or just plain not in the mood to write them down any more. So writing has become a hobby that as dwindled in usage. I would like to write more fanfictions and short stories, or at least finish my old ones. But they are from years ago when I first started on this site and are as of now outdated, as I have aged quite a bit and my writing style has greatly improved. Anyway, enough excuses. I'm trying to make more time for writing. Until then, I shall just read the fictions of others and hope it gets the creative juices flowing. Thanks for stopping by! ~ Mother Nature “When poetic justice finds you, may it have many stanzas and a complex meter. And onomatopoeia.” | |||||
