What do you write?

jrhogbin · Jan 23, 2014

I'm starting this since we are all new here and are probably looking for someone to talk to and help us with our work. So here is a place to post about what you write to find someone who has similar interests.

Or you can just say what you like to write to brag.

I, personally, write YA. The current novel I'm working on is a dysto/futuristic novel. It's got adventure, suspense, and just a tiny bit of romance. But mostly focuses on the action. I'm writing it now and my goal is to be published before I'm 18 and to send off off a novel before I turn 16.

So, your turn.

I write erotica, and am working on my 11th book. I have 10 self-published books.

This is a psudonym, of course. In real life, I write feature screenplays, and have had two features produced, one for a million dollars!

But sadly, screenwriting still doesn't pay the bills, but I'm glad I can work full time as a writer between the two "jobs".

^ Wow. That's really impressive.

Thanks! I had my first script produced by an indie company when I was 17, so I can relate with you, and cheer for you! I'm only 22 now, myself.

That just seems amazing. Most people don't get their work out there in the world, but your pieces get places! And then you're young. That's just amazing.

Glad you think so! Thank you.

Welcome. I write fantasy and science fiction (ranging from adult to YA to MG).

Hey there! Welcome (can I say that? I'm new too) to AW. I would also love to send off a MS before I turn 16, or even 15. Good luck to you!

Urban fantasy (which sell overseas as YA) and paranormal romance here. 20 books on the shelf and still counting. Welcome! We have a very active YA forum here. You'll feel right at home.

SapphireGuardian · Jan 24, 2014

Welcome! I write the world's only Auralight Fantasy series, and I also write Sci-Fi and Noir Detective stories. I also have some screenplays and game stories in my credit list, but that was a different life. Now I write novels and short stories.

Welcome to AW! I write under the romance umbrella, and have two "romance with a zillion twists" manuscripts written, although I'm branching out more into erotica and shorter manuscripts right now.

Shaba · Jan 24, 2014

I write MG Fantasy, mystery, and adventure, but I will eventually branch out to other audiences and genres. Romance, literary fiction, and thrillers. I enjoy planning the books out and I can't wait to write them.
