So, I was wondering.... · 1:15am Aug 21st, 2013

Gearing up to start a new writing run, but I plan to do better this time. Of course, to do so, it would help to have proof readers and/or editors, if even just one. I have no idea how to even approach someone about that, who to approach, or what to expect for a time frame. Having said that, if anyone's willing to point me in the right direction, let me know! I want to improve on my work, but it's difficult without the input, such as it is.

Would like an opinion · 1:14am Aug 7th, 2013

Seeing as I'm a chapter away from wrapping up Stolen Memories, I'm anxious to find out something. Given that I generate stories and ideas at a phenomenal rate, and I'm looking to sharpen my writing skills on my next story (I.E., more attention to the show and tell aspects I have trouble with now), I wanted to get an opinion of direction. That is, for anyone that cares or is interested, is there a particular theme, type, or character set you'd like to see in my next potential story? I have

At least I learned something! · 1:46am Jul 31st, 2013

In hindsight, I'm really starting to notice my own flawed writing. More specifically, the show and tell aspect I've seen mention of. I definitely have a weakness for telling and not showing, and I think it stems from a hurried state of mind. I need to work on that. >.> Going forward, I'm trying to improve the behavior and take more time in my work. We'll see if I can actually show any improvement, but to that end, I've been appreciative to all who have seen my work thusfar. Good or

And the award goes tooo... · 12:05am Jul 25th, 2013

Just thought I'd take a moment to thank everyone out there for their likes, watches, and faves! Between work and my incessant typing (not to mention being the cook at home and having a three year old daughter), I often overlook the time taken to individually thank you folks. Just so we're clear on this, I really, REALLY appreciate it! I gave up writing stories years ago, almost a decade really, 'cause no one was really reading the work. While I realize my writing style needs improvement, I

Wheels are a'turnin! · 12:47am Jul 17th, 2013

Well, so far so good! It seems my first story was fairly well received, if not a 'stellar' performer, but I am flattered and impressed at the likes it has garnered so far! I also think I've determined my weakest link in writing; I get so excited to get to my favorite parts in a story that I move pretty quickly to get it out there, and it's not as sharpened or refined as I might be able to achieve. Having said that, for anyone that had begun to follow Stolen Memories, I have revoked the

So here we go! · 3:27pm Jul 7th, 2013

Well! This happens to be my first blog post or whatever for the internets...like, ever. It's kind of surreal really, but I digress. My point in making this is more or less to announce my hope to show up on this site (Fimfiction) as a regular story writer, whether it be as a creator of new stories, or extended chapters to an existing one. I've always prided myself on a creative mind, I have simply needed work on my writing execution. I'd have probably done better in comics, but I have
