I Am A Writer, A Favourite Photo, & Favourite Things

Today's blogs...

Welcome To My Reality – Week Eighty – Five

4. Describe yourself as a writer. Give us the brief - what do you write, what's your writing style, any items published, writing goals, etc.

I am a writer. I write, therefore I am a writer. I am not published... beyond a high school creative writing anthology - which my mother still has a copy of.

I like to write stories that include some element of romantic relationships. I tend to write about characters that are within the New Adult category - 18 to 25 year olds. My stories are character driven. I do a little planning, but I am open to pantsing it... and see where things want to go.

I also love to write poetry. Much of my poetry is free verse, but I like the challenge of trying new forms. I often just let the words play.

For me, writing has always been a way of connecting with my emotions and dealing with things that overwhelm me. I started writing as a child around the time my parents separated - around the age of 7.

What are my goals...
I want to finish a novel (I have begun many for Nanowrimo) and get it published. That is the ideal.
I would love to get some of my poems published.
I want to continue to write and enter contests... here at WDC and beyond.

5. Share a photo. If you don't have an upgraded membership, use detailed imagery so we can visualise the scene.



I created a photo album for this. Learned something new today.

I love this photo. It is not me... not sure where I got it but I love the idea of it. A Writer is Always in the World of Writing. Characters talk to you at all hours. Story plays at the corners of your mind... it is never really too far from your thoughts. It is odd to think some people don't live like this!


7. Create a list of favorites. Favourite blog posts from your entire blogging history, favourite foods, favourite authors, favourite books, whatever you like. Be as creative as you want.
