Ahem. Hello there, I'm Strange Girl. Yes, I do have a real name, but Strange Girl is my pseudonym. I am a unique individual with a love for reading and writing. I prefer writing in the fantasy/romance group, and I'll read pretty much everything so long as the grammar is well and the story interesting. I have a certain dark humor which my mother doesn't approve of, but that's what you get with me.
I'm pretty scatter-brained, and I never pre-write for, or outline, my stories, but I'm trying to now for something which I'd love to turn into my book, but I mustn't have expectations because expectations lead to disappointment.
So, there you have it. (: I hope you get around to looking at some of the posts I have yet to post.
My mind is my favorite place.

Hello Strange! I'm Hope, welcome to YWS!

You sound like you'll fit in very well around here :). I do the same thing you do, I don't do outlines of stories, I just kind of plot them out in my head, then write. I find it turns out better if I don't outline because I focus more on the part I'm working on then if I focus too much on what's ahead.

So tell us about yourself!

Any pets? Siblings?
Favorite color?
Pizza topping?
Three favorite songs,
and favorite author?

Hope to see you around, and PM me if you need help with anything, or just want to talk :).

Hi there StrangeGirl! I'm WD, nice to meet you! Goodness, yes, I like fantasy too and dark humor is much fun to work with. Do you have any favorite authors? Any works in progress? Welcome to YWS! I hope you enjoy it here! This is a great little community of writers and I can't wait to hear more about you and your work. :wink: If you ever have any questions or just want to talk, feel free to PM me!

Thanks. (:
Well, I have two half sisters, one sister-in-law, and a half brother. I have two cats, two Madagascar hissing cockroaches, one leopard gecko, one salamander, one toad, and one beta fish. I love them, especially my one cat Miracle; he's my boy. ^^
My favorite color is green, followed closely by crimson and black.
And I absolutely love spinach on my pizza, and just recently I've been introduced to ham & pineapple, which is really good as well. xD
Hmm. My favorite songs... Well, first I'd have to say Reflections, second would be World Behind My Wall, and third would be Black.
Ah, my favorite author. I don't have one. They're all so different, it's hard to really pick a favorite. But I really like J. K. Rowling, Ellen Hopkins, Becca Fitzpatrick, PC Cast & Kristin Cast, Cassandra Clare, Kathryn Lasky, Philippa Gregory, "Erin Hunter", and, well, the list can probably go on.
I do have one work in progress, and it's tentatively called Umbraterra. I started writing it without any pre-write/outlining, and I had all these brilliant ideas, I know I did, but when it came time to write them down, they disappeared. So, I erased all those chapters and began outlining it. And I've been coddling the idea of Umbraterra around for a few months now. I have high hopes for it. (:
My mind is my favorite place.
