Hello Everyone,

I am a new member here after your fearless - or should that be fearsome? - leader Kitsune twisted my arm and made me join. Very Happy

Nah, that's not it at all, but it sounded good, right?

Anyway I am here by way of another forum and since I'm not sure who came from where, suffice it to say that if you know Rowan, you know me. Smile

I pretend to write a lot of the time, but that's as far as I usually get. I've dabbled in poetry, but won't share any of that unless we're really close. *crosses fingers* Like that.

I'm on the downside of being 30-something and live in the Southern US, though my heart yearns to be elsewhere. I grew up here so there's a lot of 'yes ma'am' and 'no sir' in me, which you'll have to overlook if I respond in such manner. I make no apologies for Southern manners.

So that's me in a nutshell.

Thanks for reading about me. Smile

Hey Rowan! Glad you came over here.

What type of things do you write - short stories or novels? Horror or romance?

I hope you do share your poetry with us! Here's a deal - if you post one of your poems I'll post one of my poems from my hidden stash.

Heya Max,

Newp. Sorry. Poetry is off-fa-fa limits. Razz

I write... ehm... fantasy I guess. If I ever finish stuff. Pagan themed? *shrugs* I dunno how to classify what I write. I just write.

Haha, fair enough Smile

. If Kitsune was here she would suggest having a look at the worldbuilding thread on here. It's fun to create a world where your characters and story can take place. You don't have to dedicate a novel to it, but I found it a good exercise in looking at cause and effect in your writing, and creating more of a sense of realism, which is definitely a skill in fantasy writing. And...well it's really good fun! What do you think?

I'm not the otherworldly fantasy. That's just the first genre that comes to mind when I think of writing anything with a pagan theme. Now that I think on it, though, my two favourite authors' books are sold in the mainstream fiction area of a bookshop. *shrugs* I dunno what I write!! Razz

Hi there.

You're half right Max! When a writer can't finish writing though, I tend to suggest Nanowrimo first. Twisted Evil

Nanowrimo tries to get you to write more in a month than you normally would, whether that's ten pages more or ten thousand!

So I would suggest doing Nanowrimo with us, and seeing if we can't get you back into writing.

On the other hand, there's few better ways to jump headfirst into a great idea for a novel than to start up the worldbuilding course... So Max gets points for that one. lol!

Welcome to the board! I'm so glad you could make it. Very Happy

hi! sorry I'm late welcoming you, but I've been busy, you know, normal stuff, trying to find a job, trying to find my house (I know I left it in here somewhere) but belatedly, welcome!
