Writing LiveJournal Style

[sascha_sama]

So. I'm new. Hi.
...
Wow. I'm used to writing on the computer, but that's completely different. Those are novels, not journal entries. And people are going to see this! *expression of horror*

What is it exactly that one writes in a journal, anyways? I mean, I suppose that technically, it's supposed to be mushy, and about your feelings, or about how

LOL! I know, it's kind of freaky. Usually it seems to be a combination of fangasms, RL and other amusements, or at least that's what flood my f-list. So you write novels? Have you ever been published?

[sascha_sama]

So I have a another question: What is RL and what is a f-list? :/ I am sooooo acquainted with fangasms. la la la love me my mangas.
I do write novels. I'm on the tail end of finishing my first, and aim to re-edit like a deranged person before sending it off to publishers. I've been published at school in magazines and whatnot, and a project was chosen for publication in a student teaching other students book, but otherwise, not really. I'm really reallllllllly self-conscious about sharing my writing. It took me around a year to get up the nerve to actually submit a fanfic-based drabble anywhere, which so happened to be IYFIC here.

Sorry for the length. I'm honestly a long winded person when I write anything. ;)

Good! It gives me something to read! *laughs*

I apologize for my internetisms. You'll see those a lot I'm afraid. ^^;
RL = real life
f-list = your LJ Friends List

That you've been published at all is awesome! It's only happened a few times for me, and never anything I got paid for. >_<

Need to start making some money off this crap.

Oh. My. Goodness. Please and thank you. I agree completely. I don't get paid. Is that a joke? It's like a wet-dream to get royalties for writing. I just like doing it- in fact, I like it so much that I dream about it. Don't blame me, blame my subconscious.

And you got published?! WAY TO GO!! Kudos ;) Were they short stories, poems, limricks, novellas, novels, what? I mean, if you don't mind answering.
