Author has written 11 stories for Fantasy, Fable, Mythology, Love, Humor, Supernatural, Life, and Thriller. I'm a young writer trying to improve my craft, so bring on the constructive criticism! I love to read, and have only recently begun to become serious about my writing. Just the idea that I can impart some of the nutty stuff in my head to someone else enchants me. I'm drawn to fantasy, since that's what I've been reading since I was like, three, but I also enjoy mysteries like my stack of Agatha Christies. Favorite authors include David Eddings, Elizabeth Peters, Robert Jordan, (some of) Charlaine Harris, and, an old favorite, Tamora Pierce. I'm also more than a little morbid, and I love history. Many of my stories are could-have-been scenarios. My most current piece is "The Story Game, or a Girl Named Infinity" If you want to take a look, I really would appreciate feedback, and will happily return the favor. As an editor, I try to be as frank as possible. If it's too wordy it's got to go, and don't even try a Mary Sue. I also can recognize a much better author than myself, but anyone can improve, usually through red-penning. | |||||||||
