Hi, This is me, and this is my first post here.
I have been writing for some years now, and I've written various things in various genres, I have:
1 detective novel finished, (needs polishing)
1 detective short story and
2 sci-fi short stories finished, (all need polishing, some may need total re-writes)
I also have
1 fantasy story part written, it might be half way through, it might be only a third of the way through, depends on how much more I end up wanting to say, but it's looking rather epic so far.
I also have many more part begun stories, detective, sci-fi and fantasy, some have outlines, some are mere ideas, most have characters, and are part written, some are merely what if ideas.
I had a lot of stuff stolen a few years ago, including all my current work, I've also been at university earning a degree, now that I've completed that, I was lucky enough to find older copies of my writing, which I have recently been working on:
I've added my rewrite of one of the sci-fi shorts to the rediscovered earlier original, and I've just today had a (possibly brilliant!) idea for changing one of my other older unfinished stories original location and thus the 2nd protag's origin - plus some other ideas for new background.
I think I must have matured a little over the years since looking now at this re-discovered work, I find some of it a little childish, and missing indepth detail - which I'm sure I can fix.... or I may abandon some of the oldest ones, and try for something new.
That would be exciting!
My degree is in Animation for which I wrote various things, including a rather enjoyable dissertation, after graduating I continued with an idea I had at the end of the degree which I am still adding to and perfecting. I am also modelling characters and scenery for that.
I hope to improve my writing with the help of other writers and critiquers, while I'm here.
What else should I say???
Um, I love reading Terry Pratchett, D.L. Sayers, G.K. Chesterton, James Anderson (particularly for his Inspector Wilkins books) Robin McKinley, Dell Shannon, Andre Norton, Carola Dunn, Asimov, A.C. Clarke, the list is huge....
My ambition is to be a published author, preferably of novels but a short story would be a start.
