Hello there! I'm Courtney. I just like the name Valla, hence my username.

I have been writing on and off for about 5 or 6 years. I started around the age of 12 or 13 and I am now 18 years old. I admit, I have a problem with critiquing my own creation. Because of my critiquing habits, it is rare for me to share and finish my work. I have decided to turn to a place I feel is most comfortable for me to reveal my stories, and to give and get advice. I feel I can handle constructive criticism. As long as it's constructive and not just criticism.

With that being said, I look forward to reading new works and working with you all. :D

Hey there, welcome to the site!

It's funny, I think we're having the same problems -- I had a distinct problem with not accepting criticism of my works at all when I was 12-14 (which led to a lot of poetry of questionable quality on my old deviantArt account xD), but now that I'm 19, I'm going "but criticism! I need it from people who aren't me! I hate this too much!"

One of the things I've found has helped is finding people who actually enjoy your writing and making something of a makeshift support system out of it, haha. It's kept me writing, knowing that I have friends who would devour every failed first chapter and let me know if I'm just hating it too much. (Funny thing is, I met them all on here.)

Welcome, again, and I hope you settle in nicely!
stay off the faerie paths
