| PBArcadia |
Author has written 9 stories for Fantasy, Fable, Supernatural, and Romance. Name: P. B. Arcadia was chosen as my temporary pen name. I used my initials plus Arcadia in honor of the book "Countess of Arcadia" by Sir Phillip Sidney where my name was first used when the author created it in the late 16th century. Age: In my twenties, for a little while longer Interests: Jack-o-all trades, master of none. Seriously, I have managed to delve into so many different fields I can keep up in almost any topic of conversation. I'm passionate about dancing, cooking and writing, though. Fiercely so. I've been writing nearly as long as I've been able to read. My skill seems to be on short stories, but I've been attempting to write a full out novel for over a decade. The reason why it has never been completed is because I have the attention span of a 2 year old, so I quickly start new projects and I don't come back to the story until months later. Plus all the revisions to this story I have done, you couldn't begin to imagine... My writing is as varied as my interests. From romance, to horror, to fantasy, the only thing that they have in common is tragedy. I'm more interested about the interaction of my characters than anything else, and I like to keep the reader at the edge of their seat for as long as possible. I'll be posting my short stories here until I'm assured that my novel is on going enough to not leave readers hanging for months until I end up posting the next piece. I would also love to know what short stories readers would like to see develped into a full out novel, so any inputs and comments would be welcome. I have posted a poll asking this very same thing, so feel free to put your vote in. Also I've started a thread under my forums if you would like to discuss the short stories with not just me, but other readers as well. So take a moment and put in your two cents... | |||||||||
