About paperforest

Hi! I'm paperforest, I'm an 18 year-old ace girl, and I love poetry (especially abstract/surrealist-type poems that incorporate nature and mythology) and short stories (especially flash fiction and fantasy). I will read almost any book that comes my way! Also, Shakespeare.

I'm currently working on a fantasy LGBTQ novel involving Faerie hunts, changelings, curses, and a vast forest world that can only be found when one is lost. I write poems on the side, and I attempt to write short stories, but have trouble ending them... I also draw a bit, and love all forms of art.

I'm new here, and hope to make some friends!

Too often we crave the extraordinary in life, without even learning how to cherish the ordinary first. Friend, I promise you this: if you can learn to take joy in the simple mundane things in life, the extraordinary will take care of itself, it'll be on its way, hurrying towards you. But if you skip the first part, it'll ever evade you.
