Writing
Painting With Words
Writing is one of my passions because it engages my mind and serves as an outlet for my thoughts, ideas and creative outbursts. When I was little, I delighted in reading, and that love turned into a love for putting words together on my own. Writing is like a puzzle; you have to choose just the right words to get your idea across, without letting words get in the way of what you're saying.
I call myself a writer because I write. That doesn't mean I've been published, or even that I'm particularly good at writing, but I am a writer. I hope to be known as a novelist one day. My favorite genres to write include fantasy and science fiction, but what I've written is more of a big pile of "normal" fiction with unusual elements thrown in here and there. I have five novels in progress, none of which are complete, and a couple more in the planning stages. :D I hope you enjoy what I've put up here!
