Well then, as a writer, I'm sure you know that the topic name should be "Are You an Author?", but I'll let it slide. ;)Anyway, yes! I do write. I wrote my first story at 3 or 4 years old (although, it was me dictating to my mom, since I didn't have handwriting down yet :foldarms:), and have never stopped! I write all sorts of things, but keep getting told I ought to try getting a job screenwriting for one of the myriad of medical drama series on tv, as that seems to be my niche.

Yes, I am a writer. I have started trying to write several stories, but, due to procrastination, I haven't gotten very far with any of them. I normally write in the fantasy genre unless it is for an essay in school.

If by writer you mean someone who tries to type a chapter which ends up to be a thousand and more words, then yes.I am not a professional writer, I have not written a single complete story, and nine times out of ten, my unfinished stories can only attract such a small audience.No matter the audience, I still somewhat enjoy it. Particularly in areas of action, adventure, and moral issues.

I write fanfics and originals, and it isn't restricted to any genres, be it fantasy, medieval, science fiction or real life.And it ranges from one-shots to ficlets, since I don't really think I have the ability to writing long chaptered fics.I hope to become a script-writer one day, :o

I am a writer. I enjoy creating mainly fan fictions however...but I have a thesis for a book I never seem to be able to become satisfied enough with. One of these days when I have the mioney..and the will to come to terms with it..I may try and publish the darn thing...I am pretty consistent in my writing however. I am able to keep long term projects too...just take a look at my over nine thousand word chapters and the fact that my current project is twenty eight chapters long, and still going with updates more or less every week...I just wish I didn't have such wierd typos...they make different words instead of misspelled ones, so spell check doesn't catch them...

Well lately i've just seen Shai posting alot of topics. Anyone going to warn him or is that ok? Topic spamming with just a few titles is really lame. I mean why would you do that? Just for some ROMS? Or just for some cool stuff in the gp store?

Know the feeling all to well, I think of a word and write another.On the topic: yes I see myself as a writer. I like to write short storys / novels and a few poems here and there. My most creative mood comes out when I'm feeling a bit low, bored with life or high on sugar. I hardly write anything in english, since my native language is Swedish, otherwise I would have posted something for you all to read :P

I wouldn't really call myself an Author or official Writer... But, Yes. I like to write, especially when an inspiration comes to mind, and the ideas just keep coming out. ^~^I find myself writing fictional, fantasy stories most of the time. And i always enjoy re-reading them. Whenever i do, i always have to prepare a pencil or something in hand to get ready to re-write the sentences when i feel like something else fits the storyline better. Writing is such a joy for me. The only problem is, when the ideas come, i have to start writing immediately or i would end up forgetting what i was so inspired to write about...Oh, woe on me for my short term memory!! :br:

f you all really love to write there is a contest in the Month of November called NaNoWriMo. It is a non profit org that is tryign to spread writing. the aim is to write a 50,000 word novel in a month, from nov 1-31.They try and get you to not focus on getting a perfect draft the first time, and just try and get you to pound out a story, no matter how bad, and afterward you can go back and edit. (because so many people have a problem starting cause they think the first draft has to be perfect.) I tried it twice and won one year and i can attest that it was an amazing experience, the community, now around a million people i believe is amazing. If you win the site offers to publish your book after you edit it for free.

I thought for a moment I wanted to be a writer, as if I could. I've only finished one short story and started a few others. I don't think I'm really any good, and I can't seem to finish anything. It frustrates me to no end, but I have to admit, I don't have any love for writing, only a mild interest. It's not a passion, just a fleeting ambition, I suppose.

This is exactly what the site was made for, so you can turn that "fleeting ambition" into something real.

I've been working on a novel for the last 4 years Though, I dont know what will become of the story, since it keeps going on hiatus because of crazy university life. I'd like to get some , if not all, of it published somewhere, seeing how it's been a labour of love for several years now.anyway.. *ramble ramble*

even with a college lifestyle its possible to do this, you just need to commit.Btw here is the site Nanowrimo.org

Yup!...but I'm not that good of one...*smiles sheepishly*...I write fanfictions at the moment since I don't want to go through all the trouble to make a full-blown novel yet...And so far, I've written and posted thirteen stories.....but I haven't finished any of them yet. T_T One of these days...I will...My stories don't grab too much attention since I use OCs most of the time...but I think I am improving ever since I started two years ago...The reason why I started writing is because I like to daydream a lot...and I want to find a way to show my support to the anime/games I watch/play. :3

I love to write! too bad everything I write is trash T.T I did get a poem published in a recent contest but I couldn't afford the little compilation book it came in T.TI even got a writing award in 4th grade but that was b/c I took what I played of the demo medievil( yall remember medievil right? fun game) and finished it with added characters and my own ending. Im such a cheat Im even trying to write a book right now but I keep stopping b/c it starts to sound cheesy at times

Writing is definitely one of my hobbies, though I wouldn't say that I'm good at it.I tend to have a wild imagination, so I usually have far-fetched ideas and plots. Well, that aside, the only major problem here is the ending. How do you end something without being anticlimatic? You may have the best plot in the world, but the ending is as vital as anything else, after all. Take, as an example, Harry Potter. Seven books of Voldemort's return... and the final battle ended in a few pages. The book was amazing, I give you that. But I can't help thinking that the better the plot, the more of a letdown it will be in the end...

If my excellent grammar and amazing debating skills say nothing about my writing being almost perfect, then nothing will. I have written a few stories, I will try and link to them now if possible. Be warned; They were all written 4 years ago or more and usually feature potty humor and lame Fire Emblem jokes, and most involve Chuck Norris as being the hero. I haven't had a computer until last month for the last three years so I have nothing current to submit. Anyways, hope you enjoy.
Forgive me for that... it was painful even for me to read... Now for the epic craptastic sequel! (I promise it is a bit better... but not by much.)
I'm.... sorry... but I hoped it at least made someone crack a half cocked semi-medium-wide grin... At least it followed the laws of basic english grammar right?

Well I do love writing. But I'm a lazy writer. I mean if I don't have any ideas, I tend to write after a long period of time but when I do, I write a lot.
