MightierThanTheSword

I'm a twenty year old female who lives in the Deep South. There's not a whole lot of reading/writing going on here, but I do my best. I have four cats, glasses, and insomnia.

I'm an amateur writer, but I want to hone my skills enough to get something published - it's been my dream for a long time. My favorite genre to read (and write) is adventure, usually taking place in fantastical worlds. I really like adventure stories because it's fun to develop characters, and it can come with a lot of different subgenres like romance or action.

I'm a little new at writing original material; I did most of my practicing with fanfiction. I have yet to finish a manuscript of an original idea, and the task seems very daunting. One problem I have is that I'm very long-winded and verbose. My stories, as a consequence, can be very long - perhaps a little too long for a casual reader, but I always feel as if I've left something out if I don't put in all I want to. I'm trying to work on that and make myself a better writer.

My progress is hindered by the fact that I have no one to really send my stuff to - most people will talk about giving their families or friends their manuscripts for opinions, but not very many people who I know like to read. So I'm kind of steering myself in the dark here!

Writing, obviously, along with reading. I also love making art and playing video games.
