Hello, I'm a 24 year old writer from Canada, I have written many short stories and am right now working on my first novel.
I write mainly in the science fiction and fantasy categories and my current work is a mixture of both.
I find classical and slow moody music helps me write and I am currently listening to a good deal of husky male singers accompanied by a simple guitar melody.
My novel is aimed mainly at the late teen age group and is flowing quite nicely at the moment but I know I will get stuck at some point and so I decided to join a community of writers for help and support.
My current work is projected at about 300 pages, and having started yesterday I am currently only on page 20, with one complete rewrite already under my belt. The work can best be described as a supernatural thriller and love story.
My main technical writing issue is my tendency to use long run on sentences.
Thank you
And despite how wooden my writing seems in this introduction, I've been told my fiction is not nearly so dead, I'm merely better at expressing fiction then I am at expressing anything real about myself.
Which of course doesn't mean I lie, it simply means I'm very, very, shy, and that I feel far more comfortable expressing emotion in my writing then in reality, a flaw which I recognize quite clearly.
