Hey all!
I'm octocoffee, pleased to meet you! You can call me octocoffee, octo, Octavian-later-Augustus-Caesar-the-greatest-emperor-of-Rome... I'm really a girl though, so I suppose that last one doesn't work too well. I'm fifteen years old, and currently procrastinating in studying for my finals.
I've been writing in a journal since the third grade, but haven't shown a real interest in writing and publishing my fiction work since this year. My English teacher is encouraging me to apply for the summer programs at Kenyon, Bread Loaf, and a few other places next year so I've decided to begin composing my portfolio for application. I'm seeking criticism on my writing in general, and hopefully recieve help on selecting my best pieces for submission.
I've been a bit terrified of joining this place though; as much as I want the criticism, I'm afraid of it at the same time. Typical passive-aggressive teenager. I'm also a bit hesitant of reviewing other work, but I suppose it won't kill me to put my opinion out there for once. But here I am, ready to take the plunge!
Thanks for reading this long introduction. I tend to get rather wordy when it comes to talking about myself
