Hi, I'm Jessica. I live in a little redneck town in Canada. (eh) I just want to say that i am so glad to find a website where you are actually critiqued. I was totally ignored by the last group i joined. I found this website because it was on Writer's Digest's 101 Best Websites. (Congrats!) I have a love/hate relationship with my writing. Ever since i was little i would tell myself stories to help me get to sleep, and some of those stories are just itching to get out. However, I have self-confidence issues, and whenever i start a story, i lose confidence in my abilities as i writer and i tend to give up. I'm trying to fix that, and i've started a new project and am making progress on it, although i'm not ready to start posting it here, but i might post some smaller works.
Oh, yeah, and before i forget, i really wanted to reccomend a book to everyone here. On Writing by Stephen King is an excellent book for writers, especially those who are just getting started. Although I am not personally a big fan of King's, I really enjoy this book. It is half memoir, half writing instruction, andi find it very useful. I carry it in my purse for when i need a little advice or inspiration. (how many teens carry seven pens and a book in their purse? probably just me )
Well, thats all i can think of for now. I look forward to reviewing your pieces and having you review mine.
