Hello. I am a beginner writer and hope that I can utilise everything this forum offers to further my progress and actually get something published someday.
I wrote a fantasy romance a few years ago just for fun after taking a few creative writing classes and found it easy (89,000 words in under a month) but circumstances caused me to shelve it until last month. Now I have over 200,000 words––a trilogy in the making? Perhaps.
But I am a confessed pantser and have found that as you get older, trying to remember what the heck happened on page 47 when you are on page 397 can be a bit frustrating. A little research told me that outlining was the only way to go if I ever wanted to remember what I wrote and how the story was progressing at any given time. So I have been busy just writing an outline for now and reading how others do things on this forum.
The genre I write in is Romance: Fantasy, historical, and just plain romance in the 21st Century.
Other than romance, I like to read fantasy, horror, mystery, and sci-fi.
Hobbies? Crochet, reading, writing.
I have four chickens, a duck, two Shih Tzu's, a cat, and a canary. They may not help me write but they would make for some great short stories at some point. None of them are normal, as am I.
I'm a transplanted American on British soil. Lucky them.
So that's it. Me in a nutshell. Glad to be here. Hope to learn a lot and put it to good use.
