It's a pleasure to meet all of you!
I started writing when I was 9 years old. I worked on a few short stories during my pre-teen and teen years. Unfortunately, I quit writing while I was in college as I doubted my skills, thus losing interest in the craft. But my creative juices started flowing again and I recently took an interest in writing again. I'm hoping to publish my first book in the near future! However, since I stopped writing for nearly 5 years my skills are quite rusty. So any advice, feedback and criticism would be greatly appreciated!
About myself:
I absolutely love the fantasy genre, especially stories featuring wizards and dragons. The Harry Potter series by JK Rowling was a big part of my childhood and it was the series that gave me an interest in writing. I was also a huge fan of The Last Dragon Chronicles by Chris D'Lacey. In my teenage years I took a liking to the Apprentice Adept series by Piers Anthony, which heavily influenced my style of juxtaposing two worlds.
Not only do I love reading fantasy, I also love to write fantasy. Specifically, stories for young readers that can be enjoyable for both children and adults. Sometimes I like to change things up and write about a futuristic, sci-fi world.
Along with writing, I'm also a self-taught artist on the side. While I've been drawing for nearly ten years, I don't consider myself a professional by any means as I only started to take art seriously almost 2 years ago. There are still many things I need to improve on. I also enjoy hand-sewing.
I hope to be well acquainted with all of you and possibly make some friends along the way. Perhaps later down the road I could also beta-read for some of you!
