I have been writing (like, want to be a professional my-writing-actually-has-to-sound-good writer) for four years. One can do a lot in those four years. I've written three full novels, currently working on two, and one in the works. Marinating, as I like to call it. I've been to many a writers conference and have learned all about what I want to be, for lack of a better cliche, when I grow up. I even know my wpm, and how many words I can write in a hour (2K, if you were wondering.)
Enough bragging. I guess it isn't really bragging, though. I love what I do so much. It's a way to express myself, just like drawing or music or theater, it is wonderful to me. Most of the time I hate it because writing takes forever. It usually takes a year for me to get a book from idea-baby to fully-realized-novel. Which is forever compared to other arts except for movies. Painting? Do it immediately. Wait for it to dry. Keep going. Writing? Many, many, many more steps. Not that I don't appreciate painting, I've done it a lot, too. Writing simply takes longer.
I also like to draw and write music. Piano music. Not wordy music with rhymes and stanzas. I just sit down in front of the piano and dump out the emotions of the day until I feel back to normal again.
I think that's all you need to know about me...
