and i had felt the same
Name: Elle
About Me: I'm 18 years old. I am currently doing a creative writing degree. I live in Australia. I wish to be an editor to pay the bills, but be an author to write the stories that swirl in my head. My journal, while now refocusing on my writing will talk very occasionally about my social/love life due to the fact that I am 18 years old and know how to be 18. I often answer the "Question of the Day" here at LJ just to do some writing. Please do not be discouraged by the digressions from writing, I look at it as inspiration for later years to come.
What I Write: Mainly fiction. Short stories to novels. I'm working on my novel now. There is no set genre, it really depends on what the story is. But I'm a planner, so unless it's a uni assignment, it takes forever to get done. (I dabbled in fanfiction a couple of years back.)
What I Don't Write: Poetry. I have written haikus and free verse - as required by my course. I much rather analyse poetry than write it. I just don't have the rhyme for it, I believe. However, if I'm in a particularly cryptic mood, I will jot something down.
What I Like To Read: It's all over the shop. (I've removed the "Favourite Authors" section of this because of this reason.) I read Melina Marchetta (regular fiction); JRR Tolkien; I'm trying to get through CS Lewis and a Sherlock Holmes book at the moment. I read Stephenie Meyer (fantasy), Matt Reilly (action/adventure), JK Rowling, Paulina Simons (romance), Jane Austen (classic), Holly Black and Cassie Clare from the urban fantasy section. As i said, all over the shop. (Honestly, I just looked in my bookshelf and picked out names.)
What I Don't Read: There is nothing I won't try.
What I'm Looking For: People that write and practice their art. People that have resources and are ready to share. People that just want to talk about writing and talk about my writing - as I am willing to talk about theirs. People that know who Melina Marchetta and Matt Reilly are (and even those who don't). People that can make playlists with me for my stories - I always write with music, as I believe everyone should (or out in the world, like park benches or cafes).
Other: My sister is an aspiring animator and my father a painter. We're a creative family and I've always been told to dream. So I do that. There's a list of things I want to accomplish in my life and sometimes I will talk about those dreams. I like to wish.
