Writing has long been one of my hobbies, mostly in late elementary school and early high school. Sadly, somewhere around the end of high school I stopped finding the time to sit down and write out all the world and characters and places in my head. That doesn't stop me from creating them, though! I still have a half-dozen stories on the back burner, and a several RPs of various sorts (MSN mostly, with some D&D-style).
Most of my stories are some variety of fantasy, and I'll warn you that most of these are pretty old. I divided them into the Good, the Okayish and Poetry. I also have a section on National Novel Writing Month. All stories open in the same window, but outside of the layout for ease of reading. If that doesn't work, please let me know so I can try a different setup!
The Good
- Bonus Points For Little Old Ladies - A short, humorous story about my first time driving on a highway/freeway. September, 2006
- Personalities 1: To Be Alone - What do you do when the voices in your head are actually real, visible people? Short Story, 2003
- Irisa - A shipwreck survivor awakes with no memory of what happened on a desert island and explores an odd sort of cave. Short story, 2004
- Red - A set of poetic association with the color red. 2004
- Sanctuary - Stream of consciousness soliloquy. Oneshot, 2005
National Novel Writing Month
NaNoWriMo is a challenge issued every November to write a novel (defined as 50,000 words) in the month of November. The idea is that writing a novel is a "one-day" event - as in "one day I'll do that, but not really today". NaNoWriMo is designed to counter that. By getting people to sit down and write a novel, worrying more about length than quality, they hope to get some of those potential novels written, so they can be edited and refined and made wonderful. It's pretty hard to edit something that doesn't exist. It's a fun, seat-of-your-pants approach to writing.
I participated and won in 2004, 2005 and 2006, and got about 2000 words in 2007 before school ate my life. Similar things happened in 2008, with school and lack of interest in my story conspiring to leave me at 3500 words total.
I case you're both crazy and possibly desperate, I put up my completed (ie. hit 50K) NaNo novels. Only the one from 2004 is in web form, the rest are still .docs, and the title links to the file. Good luck - you'll need it.
- 2004 - Waking Dreams
- 2005 - Faer Illansar/Stealing a Quest (.doc)
- 2006 - Untitled/God Quest (.doc)
