Howdy! (And I can say that unironically, I'm from Texas.) I'm a student at university majoring in English, with special emphasis on Medieval and Modernist texts. I'm using this account to field my NaNoWriMo contribution, although technically I wrote it in July. I'm editing it as I go, so if you like it, shoot me an email and I'll try to hurry up. After I've finished with Tomorrow, who knows? I haven't quite figured out the end yet, but from the looks of things, it's a long way off. I'm always happy to talk stories, so PM me anytime.
I don't write. I like to read. If I particularly like a story, I will comment.
Hello to anyone reading~
I'm generally an all genre person and I've written a few stories so far, though I've only posted one online so far! I hope that people will enjoy my Story 'Cor Fortium' (and any other i post) also I'd love reviews and constructive criticism! It would help a lot! Thank you!
Sorry but due to school updating has been slow (nonexistent) hopefully soon i will be able to write more (^_^)
Howdy and Greetings and all that,
I'm an 18 year old... eh, nobody needs to know all that drama. (If you want to know, don't be afraid to ask.
I hope to truly connect with people with my tales. My main reason for writing, and one day writing professionally is to hopefully cheer up/make happy/inspire those who read my stuff. Wait, that sounds arrogant to me. Well, can't take it down now...
Please leave plenty of comments, I collect comments in a book and hang comments on the walls.
I don't care how you got here. You're here. Welcome.
Quiz time for me!
Name: Call me Angie.
Age: Haha. I'm old enough to be done high school, but young enough to still be able to be friends with people in high school.
Where I'm From: OH CANADA! Totally a Canadian.
Favourite reading genres: futuristic stuff mostly. Not, like, H.G. Wells hardcore, but futuristic like Hunger Games, Divergent, and others. I also read things that delve into mythology, and modern imaginings of fairy tales.
Writing Weaknesses: Okay, so this is a writing site. And we know we all have them. Difference is that I'm admitting them here. I never write an outline, and that can sometimes mean certain aspects of a story derail in the middle (although I try really hard not to do that). I can't write from an outline. If I ever have to write an outline, I'm totally writing the story first and then breaking it down into an outline. I'm also a huge procrastinator sometimes. If inspiration strikes, I can write and write and write when I have time. When I lose the inspiration, it can be a hellish experience to get back. XD
Music: I listen to a lot of different bands, artists and songs. I listen to them when I write and sometimes they'll get me through my writer's block. I listen to everything from Taylor Swift to Backstreet Boys to Jesse McCartney to Fall Out Boy to Avril Lavigne to Nickelback to Theory of a Deadman to Miranda Lambert to Coldplay to B.O.B or the Black Eyed Peas. Seriously. I even listen to some 70s music. Basically anything could give me ideas. Country, pop, boy bands, rock, rap. Anything's fair game. Only stuff I won't listen to while I'm writing is classical, or stuff without words. I need the words to get the ideas flowing.
Why do I write?
Possibly the most important question we as writers face. And I'm pretty sure readers are pretty interested in the why of it all too. Make sure our hearts are in the right place.
Writing is what I love. If you've read my stories, you might find them a bit disjointed at times. Honestly, that's because my fingers type and my mind barely thinks. The ideas just come. I have no control over it really. So forgive me that, huh?
And critical reviews are welcomed as long as you tell me what would make the story better. I appreciate these sort of reviews because they've helped improve my writing.
I have a pretty good sense of humour, and chances are if you're not being rude, I'll just laugh stuff off. If you're rude though, what I say back might be more than caps lock (though usually it stays pretty PG - but sarcasm and barbs...if you're rude to me, they're fair game if I choose to use 'em!)
I read for the fun of it (I take pounds of books out when I go to the library to stock up for the week). Writing is just something I do because I feel the need to write. It's a major bonus when people like what they read. I'd write anyway, but to know it's enjoyed feels like a gift to me. Even constructive criticism feels like a gift when applied to my writing because it means someone cares enough to tell me what is wrong with my writing. I might feel a little discouraged at first, but I know that generally I'll end up better off in the end, so I generally just brush off those feelings of mine. :)
How long have I been writing?
I've been coming up with stories as long as I've been alive. I've always been an avid reader, so coming up with stories felt second-nature. I wrote short stories for school, but then I started writing on RPGs, got hooked, and then started posting on those as well as writing on first fanfiction, then fictionpress. Now I'm here. All in all, I've been writing daily for about five years now. A while for me, probably not so much for some of you. Anyways, that's me.
I know it's really long. I can be wordy sometimes. It helps that I keep copy-pasting a presentation from my writing sites and then adding on as I go.
I hope you enjoy any stories I put up, and I hope I'll be able to thoroughly enjoy yours in turn.
I am a student in Great Britain who has a passion for all mythology and writing, thus my first book The Family of Ragnorok was born. It will be worked upon between my studies to the best of my abilities and I hope I please someone. If you find my book on FictionPress or FanFiction under the alias TheBatonOfHonour it has not been stolen, they are my accounts.
I'm the author of Suicide Prevention Department (SPD). I have a Tumblr, and a Twitter that I use to alert followers of new chapters as well as progress updates. They can be found here:
