The problem I find with romance is that books just spend so much time on it and make it seem so important compared to the plot and such. I can squee over cute couples as well as the next person, but I like my romance in the background. For Pratchett, I highly recommend the Watch books in the...

Oh god. Uh, I really can’t remember my first story, though the earliest one I can remember is this really awful dragon story I wrote when I was in seventh grade. All I really remember about it was that is focused on these elemental dragons and the people they were bonded to (who were my...

I usually choose my names based on how they sound rather than spelling and meaning and the like. Which sometimes causes problems for me when I find out I’ve been pronouncing a name wrong, like pronouncing Leah as ‘Lay-ah’ instead of ‘Lee-ah’ (in my defense, that’s how a classmate of mine...

I haven’t got Black or White yet, unfortunately, and I probably won’t get it until my birthday in April. *tries not to cry* And Terry Pratchett really is the best. He's my favorite writer of all time. Even a Pokemon fanatic like myself can’t name them all. I can’t help but feel ashamed every...

Pikachu is the only character I play in SSBB. There's nothing more enjoyable than spamming Thunders. :) Yup, I definitely don't regret anything I write. Even my earlier works which I can't look at without wanting to gorge my eyes out helped me improve, even if I don’t want to admit it sometimes.

It’s a Pokemon fanfiction about a journey and growing up. I doubt it’s a fandom that would appeal to most of the forum, but I’ve learned so much from writing it. So much so that I look back at earlier chapters and get embarrassed at the mistakes I made (especially involving commas and dialogue).

Eragon isn’t worth it. When I was younger, around thirteen, I remember liking it, but as I grew older, my fondness turned to distaste. It also didn’t help that I read an Eragon sporking that pointed out every single mistake the series made in great detail, which turned me off of it forever...

I find myself agreeing with DavidP. While you shouldn’t give up your dreams or anything of the sort, becoming a published writer takes more effort than just writing a good book. It takes a great amount of luck, and even if you do get published, you most likely won’t make enough for writing to be...

Hello. I saw this forum recommended on the NaNoWriMo forums, so I took a peak, liked what I saw, and joined. Fantasy and mystery are my preferred genres, though I’ll read just about any genre. Except for romance. I don’t mind romance as long as it takes a back seat, but if that’s all...
