well, not all. but enough…. =)
So, as I’m sure you’ve guessed, I am a writer. An aspiring author, actually. (Don’t you just love alliteration?)
I have always written in journals and I adore writing essays, etc… I was an English Literature major in college so that turned me off from reading for about ten years, but I’m back in the game with that. I’m already extremely close to my yearly goal of pages to be read and it’s only two months into the year!!
Anyway, I just recently decided to give writing a novel a shot. I feel I have a great idea and I have the capability to do so…..so, here I am!! I only started 3 wks ago (as of 3.4.09) and have already spent countless hours researching the mythology I’m basing the book on as well as actually writing three chapters of the book. I’d like to meet people who want to read my work and vice versa. I need as much advice as I can get before I finish the book and go about the publishing process.
I’m here to document the process and my progress for myself as well as for feedback, obviously.. So, any comments (good or bad – just please be constructive rather than mean) will be greatly appreciated – and, I will most certainly return the favor to anyone who is interested.
Thanks for checking out my page, and I hope to get to know some of you soon!!!
p.s. I’m not exactly trying to be uber professional….. yet.
It just is what it is..
want email updates?
I love the comment about being turned off from reading after English Lit. Forced reading and studying of subjects you find boring is the worst kind of torture.
that, it is!!
unfortunately, it even prevented me from reading things that i DO like, as well.
at one point, i considered being a professor, but decided i couldn’t do that to others–reading is too phenomenal to make people hate it (whether intentional or not)!!
’twas a long road back to books, but i made it =)
and i’m happy once again.
Good Luck with your writings.
I will give you an advice:
Keep this posted on your computer screen:
“a good thing is better than a perfect nothing!”
and the best one is:
“Keep writing”

Good luck with your novel—and of course all your other writing. I just wanted to pop over and say thank you for reading/commenting on my article on Fuel Your Writing.
Best wishes!
