WARNING: SARCASO-METER on RED ALERT Me in brief: I'm an aspiring young writer who prefers to avoid non-fiction, the color pink, and chatspeak. That, and my geometry homework. I'd love to write a full-length book some day, but no matter how hard I try I tend to write a lot of one- to three-page narrative poems (I don't think they qualify as short stories. They have no plot) and the less glamorous "oneshot". Oh well. After several attempts to keep things going longer, I've decided not to fight my nature. My poems are short. My narrative poems are short. My short stories are-- you guessed it, short. When I'm not writing or doing homework or doing cheer (cheerleading) or singing or acting, I'm roleplaying online with my friends. That's probably how I got this short'n'sweet streak...? Anyway. I suck at writing summaries, but I promise you, my stuff is better than it sounds. I love, love, love getting reviews and constructive critism because those are the only clinically proven cures for stupid-writing disorder but if you give me flames I will hurl them back into your face. Sarcastically. And then set my hamster on you. In progress: Especially in Noble's Town, Ariadnic Tendancies, The Kind of Tommorrow They Don't Need Today If you want to write a short... something... for you, then just tell me in a review. I'm getting stuck in a rut; some inspiration or adopted characters would be a breath of fresh air. Remember-- I'm aspiring. I need practice. | |||||
