I started writing only a few years ago and am still trying to improve my style. I find that I get really good beginnings of stories but then I run dry and don't have any conflict to keep it going. I'm hoping that I can become better at build conflicts and making my stories LIVE...
What influences my writing:
*life
*books
*movies
*songs/music
*military
*environment
In real life, I'm currently a sophomore in college. I participate in the ROTC program. Once I contract, I plan on doing Environmental science in the Corps of Engineers.
Favorite books/authors/series:
Tamora Pierce
Narnia series
Harry Potter
Amelia Atwater-Rhodes
Joan Lowery Nixon
Laura Ingalls Wilder
Nicholas Sparks-even if all the plots are the same
Clan of the Cave Bear series
Phillip Pullman
Ann Rinaldi
Anne McCaffrey
The Claidi Journals
The FIRST Twilight book- all the rest go down hill
Robin McKinley
The Harry Potter series is SO much better than the Twilight series.
There's more. I just can't think of them right now.
----- You know you live in 2008 when... -----
1.) You accidentaly enter your password on a microwave.
2.) You haven't played solitare with real cards for years
3.) The reason for not staying in touch with your friends is they dont have a screenname or my space
4.) You'd rather look all over the house for the remote instead of just pushing the buttons on the TV
6.) Your boss doesn't even have the ability to do your job.
7.) As you read this list you keep nodding and smiling.
8.) As you read this list you think about sending it to all your friends.
9.) And you were too busy to notice number 5.
10.) You scrolled back up to see if there was a number 5.
11.) Now you are laughing at yourself stupidly.
12.) Put this in your profile if you fell for that, and you know you did.
