Hello everyone, I'm Wakawaka. Currently finishing a degree in Physics but writing has been a hobby since tenth grade. I used to write for a certain collaborative website, but we parted ways on terms not considered the best. But I've enjoyed writing the stories that I've had in mind's eye for the better part of a decade at this point. This may mean I'm overly attached to my ideas. I hope I can get over this. I've always found my attempts at dialogue and character to be amatuerish. I struggle to distinguish my characters, struggle to make each feel unique, real, deep. They come off as vehicles of exposition or just very shallow. I hope to overcome these shortcomings with all your help. Why don't I ask my friends and family for help? Well for one I've always thought that the disparaging impersonality of the internet is the best vehicle for criticism. No one is (or should be) afraid of hurting someone's ego, and so true love or hate can be conveyed in a way that's simply impossible in real life (in my experience at least). I'm also dead embarresed by most of what I've written, so I hesitate to show it to the people I know and respect until the writing itself is respectable. You may notice my lack of ability to write a fluid stream of concise thoughts and opinions. This too is a difficulty I hope to overcome with all your help. As to what I write, It's mostly Fantasy or Science fiction. I adore alternate history and nonfiction (Have you read money for nothing by Thomas Levenson? Probably my favorite book of all time, above even treasured fantasy comfort and gripping space adventures. In these times is also rather gripping. So is the sword of honor trilogy, but that's really historical fiction. I'm off track again.), but I don't have the stomach for the true research needed to do the medium justice. So I stick to my fiction, although my love for history may at times shine through. I hope my love is more than that of some who "love history" but basically know nothing bar the world wars, Napoleon, and perhaps Rome and Greece. But maybe I shouldn't be so judgemental, as those are great starting points and probably where I myself started. I've gotten off track again, don't you see! This was meant to be an introduction! Blargh! I hope to assist and be assisted, though I can't promise high availability should I somehow end up in a disscussion or collaboration. University is tough, and life calls. So do the dogs. Thanks for reading and I hope to see you all soon!
