Hey, I'm Sarah but I also go by Onyx (a penname I've picked up over the years) so you can call me either. Whatever is less common or whatevs.
Umm... I've been writing in some form or another since I was ten, so about nine years, then. Outside of school I haven't had any offical training and my grammar, for all intents and purposes, is terrible. Nouns/adverbs/prepositons...these things never stuck in my head quite right.
I've been working on the same book for about a year. It started out as a short story that a friend and I did for our Philosophy class and it is slowly growing bigger and bigger. Unfortunately my biggest weakness as a writer (besides an inability to take direct criticism, really just rip my heart out already) is an inability to finish a piece once I start it. After about 40 pages I get bored of the tense or the characters or an element of the plot doesn't work anymore, so instead of fixing it I just throw it out and start over. Thats why I mostly stick to poetry, because my complete lack of an attention span fares better. I also blog and love to read and listen to music and talk about poltics/the news.
Wow, that was a lot. But hey, I'm just throwing myself out there!
