A Writer's Philosophy

My philosophy as a writer is to take criticism from anyone of any level of writing, because no matter how much better or worse they are at writing to me, believe it or not, they still may know what they're talking about. I believe that, as writers, we must open our minds to the possibilities and be unafraid to explore the unknown, to listen to a stranger's advice and to keep going and stay strong no matter how bad criticism against our work gets. I know that I am not the best author in the world, or even on just Fanfiction, but I still think I'm pretty good, and even if you think I suck, I'm going to keep writing anyway because I enjoy it and I love it.

Fanfiction and Fictionpress are like playgrounds to me. Especially Fanfiction. It gives me a chance to explore and practice my writing skills with characters that are already familiar to me, and get the free opinion of others who read it. Fictionpress can be a little harsher, but I'm not afraid of it; it means it's more like the real world. I don't like putting full-length stories on Fictionpress because I'd rather try and get them published, but when it comes to original pieces that I don't like as much as I could, I'd like to get the opinion of others onto it there.

Anyone and everyone is welcome to review me. I love you all. I love reviews - any sort of comments, criticism, likes and dislikes. They're all good!

Don't forget to check me out at the websites I mentioned at the top :)

That's all for now.
