End my solitude, Share my madness (YA, Sci-Fi, Dystopian)

Evening.

Whilst I'm not new to this 'writing' malarkey I am most certainly new to this 'writing a fictional novel' malarkey and, as a result, I find myself being the only inhabitant in the panic room that has become my head.

Because of this I thought it might be a step in the right direction to drag someone else down with me (only joking) and search for a writing buddy.

I'm not looking for a mentor (though I have much to learn) as I see the collective minds on AW as the only mentor I need, for now. No, I'm looking more for a fellow newbie who finds that they are in a similar predicament as I.

My writing tends to sway (drunkenly) towards the YA, Sci-Fi, Dystopian genres and so someone who has a similar interest in these subjects would obviously be preferable, although that isn't a deal maker/breaker either way.

I am, by nature, a creature of solitude and I can't be sure that this 'writing buddy' is quite my thing. If it doesn't work out, just remember; it's not you, it's me!

Having said that, even if I just find one person who I can (mutually) share ideas/work with on a semi-regular basis then that's grand.

Not really sure what else to say so if anyone has any further questions, please ask!

You're looking for a fellow newbie? :hi:

I have not read much YA or Dystopian stories, but I'll try just about anything. PM me if you're interested.

I'm up for a jaunt through drunken-esque YA Dystopia-land. Though mostly I just like to chat about projects and such. I just paused progress on my own YA Dystopian piece.

I read YA, Dystopian and a little sci-fi. I write YA fantasy. (so far not dystopian, but who knows?) Right now I'm just looking for a brainstorming partner.

Most of the time writing is a solitary pursuit, not because we choose to be alone all the time, but that our stories can't really work themselves out properly unless we get quiet time/writing time. I'm pretty darn social when I get the chance, but there aren't that many people I can talk about this crazy stuff with. Friendships take awhile to develop, but hey, I'm online a lot and I frequent the AW chat. Message if you feel like it!
