To the interested, I'm female (the name gives it away) and live in the US. Sadly, I don't get out much, though I guess that doesn't really bother me because it gives me time to work on things like writing, whatever I may be writing. Besides, if it really bothered me, I probably would've done something about it by now. Meh, oh well. _
I like writing, drawing/sketching, reading, and photography. Also, I try and collect knives, though they're really for decoration and sentimental value. (Never have I had to use them on anyone before.) Surprisingly enough, I like cute things, though I do enjoy the manic and dark just the same. Balances me out, I say. Just enough cute to mix with the darkness... yup, I'm a satisfied camper.
Lately, I haven't been doing much, though I am trying to get a few writing projects lifted off the ground. My original dream was to be a professional writer, but with reality smacking me in the face every so often, that dream has shifted several times to accommodate personal needs. I do hope to eventually get a book published, though, even if just one with only a selection of short stories in it.
Until then though, we'll just keep it as a hobby, until I actually get a story up and FINISHED. Then we'll start talking books.
--Anyway, enough about that.
Usually, I dabble into fantasy/sci-fi type stories. The past few years have changed my writing preferences to press homosexuality amongst main characters. But that doesn't mean I've stopped my hetero and nonpref stories. I still write stories about people who don't even encounter the trials of love. Amongst my normal stories, I've touched upon family, friendship, love -- familial or romantic or whatever -- and a few other categories I can't quite recall off the top of my head at the moment.
Also, not all of my writing makes it up here. I'm a little self conscious of putting things up that are unfinished or else unsatisfactory in the least. If it's not past a certain length, or if the development wasn't right, or whatever other nitpicking detail I find is unsatisfactory, it stays away from public eyes, viewable only to me because I simply want to keep it as a memory. (On that note, I hardly ever throw away my things, so you can imagine I have quite a bit of my old work still saved somewhere.)
So... for now, I think that's all I have to say. Really, there's not much to figure out from me, and I don't really say much. When I have a go, I have a good long go, and then a I shut up for twice as long. The best thing to do I just sit tight and watch me move, be it forward or backward or sideways or even in circles. Where I end up -- who knows? But the point is, whatever my destination, you'll be glad you came along for the ride.
