I don't usually do introductions on forums, as my primary purpose for those is usually just to get help. While I am joining AW for the moment to get some advice, I will read as many posts as I can to offer/share advice. This is my feeble attempt at saying hi. I, like most people, have a bit of Glossophobia, which i'm working through by hosting writing panels on Anime/VG panels in my state.

I'm one of those people who was just born to be a writer. I have a God-given talent for writing, and I want to make a career out of writing. I don't like to brag or be prideful, but I will say I write really well. And I don't need to be the next Stephen King or James Patterson. Just selling enough to get by is the plan. I want people to escape from the everyday life, into a world of my choosing.

I'm not sure whaty else to say. I have a completed manuscript, which i'm doing final edits on, and I hope to have it published soon. If all goes well, that is.

I hope everyone hear who has a story to tell gets it out. Even if it's bad, someone will read it. Maybe it'll be me. I've read bad stuff on both Fanfiction and Fictionpress. And sometimes when i'm not writing (which is not much recently), I play terrible video games with memorable dialogue.

I hope to put a short story i'm polishing onto my DeviantArt account. Until then, rock on!

I just realized it sounds like i'm bragging. Man... I said wasn't gonna. What I should have said was this. I know my grammar. I can read someone's writing and points out most of the errors. Even if I cannot explain why it's wrong, I can tell it's off. (I should be an editor, LOL) I write with that concept in mind. I've seen too many people, like those on Fanfiction, Fictionpress, and other sites where it's poorly written, with run on sentences and almost no use of descriptiveness. Show, not tell, right?

Anyway, thanks for the greetings.
