For my author name, I go under Brandon W. Smith. The "W" is deliberately added in since Brandon Smith is a common name. I have at least one published novel, and I currently have another novel in the works ("Mind Games"). I have twelve years of experience with writing. I have been writing ever since I was ten. I started out writing fanfiction pieces for my favorite cartoons before finally developing the story and characters for "Founders' Island" in middle school. It wasn't until my junior year of high school that I actually started writing the novel. I continue to write fanficton, but I do like to write stories involving my own characters. I hope that while here I can help others as well as continue to pursue my education in creative writing and become a better writer in the process.
Welcome to the forum, Brandon. Please have a look through the Forum Rules, and the FAQ as a start. Then take a leisurely stroll through the different areas of the forum to get your bearings. Once you have a good idea where everything is, come and say hello in the Lounge or have a look at the items already up for review in the Workshop Please remember that as a full participation workshop. You are required to give two (2) constructive reviews of posted items prior to posting your own work. Thereafter, two reviews for every post of your own work is the expected standard. Remember that two is only a minimum. Why do we have this requirement? Because we have a very different philosophy here than you will find in most other forums. We are not a refrigerator door to pin up work with a colorful magnet for all the world to see. Our forum is not about getting reviewed. It’s about giving reviews and in the process improving your own writing. Have fun!
