Hey~ I'm Izzy. I've been writing since I was 17 (that's 8-9 years to anyone's who's counting). I mostly do dark fantasy, but I really love everything. Pirates, dragons, shapeshifters, and vampires are probably what I mess with the most. I do a lot of my writing late at night, which means I don't have a lot of writing friends to talk to when I'm actually working. I'd love to make some if anyone here wants to shoot me a PM. I'm about halfway through the 2nd draft of my current project, but I have only a bajillion others in the works. I'd love to talk about anything you guys have going on. Nothing gets me more excited than talking to another writer about what they love
Hey Izzy! Welcome to the forum . You and I have seem to have a lot in common. I'm a fantasy guy myself first and foremost (though I love Sci fi as well) and I usually like exploring darker themes in my stories. My current WIP novel is actually a dark fantasy and vampires play a really big role in it. I love vampires, seriously they're my favorite fantasy beings. I could talk for hours about them. Pirates are really awesome too, though I don't think I've ever read a book with them as the main focus, maybe I should .
Have you ever read anything by Michael Crichton? He's the one who wrote Jurassic Park. Before he died, he finished a book called Pirate Latitudes. It's by far my favorite pirate book.
