Thinking about it, presenting oneself is probably as difficult as writing an alluring summary for a novel... I'm pretty sure I can't present myself without boring you to death.

Suffice to say I love too many things to count, but words are probably coming first, even besting chocolate. There's probably not a plane surface at home that do not bear a book or notes for one.

I'm the worst kind of writer. I have tons of ideas, trying to make something out of most of them, and unfortunately writing without a proper synopsis. I tried that, from time to time, each time without despicable results. So I go on with writing 'au fil de la plume' which makes my work horribly complicated, apparently confused and so entertaining. Who knew that the muses could attack when you are cross-training at the gym, or grocery shoppping?

I write mostly adventure/fantasy/romance short stories.

Nice to meet you all!

PS: English is not my first language, but for some reason, at the moment I can't use French to write, so I apologize in advance for the misuse...

Hello and welcome!! I am the same way with writing, I have notes everywhere and have started a billion stories but a lot, or most, of them don't get finished because I get part way through and cant come up with the second half!! Welcome, again, to AW. :)

I have no idea what I just said but my wife and daughter say that was a good way to welcome someone who spoke French.

Kreuse,
Welcome here! If only we could all get slapped up side the head by our muses as often as you do. Here's hoping you can talk them into helping with the organization aspect as well

Welcome to AW. Hope you enjoy your stay with us.
How do you like your popcorn?

If you go to the bottom of the page to the ‘forum jump’ you can scroll down and find all the areas of this place. Most of the SYW areas require the password of ….vista. A word to the wise, (50 posts), it would be a good idea to participate first in helping others before you think about posting your own work. After you have been around here for awhile, then post something of your own for help. Good luck.

Welcome!

I'm the worst kind of writer. I have tons of ideas, trying to make something out of most of them, and unfortunately writing without a proper synopsis.

Worst kind? I take exception to that! The worst kind of writer is the one who never actually writes (-:

Seriously, I'm incapable of working off a synopsis. I've written entire short stories where, when I started them, all I had was the opening sentence or two. Once, all I had was a title. And I've sold those stories.

Find your own process that works for *you*, and don't worry too much about what anyone else says is the "right way" to create your stories. There's enough guidelines and rules to satisfy your need for order once you get around to submitting stuff that you don't need to shoehorn them into your writing process if it doesn't feel right to you.

My $.02, anyway. I could always be wrong.
