There are some things you should know about my writing abilities. First of all, I love to tell stories, about my day, or about inanimate objects and the reasons as to why they give me trouble. I create mini character analysis’s about things and people I see walking around me. I believe everything and everyone has a story, and since I don’t know theirs, or don’t have time to ask, I create one for them, almost subconsciously.
I love to read as well, I insert myself into books as back ground characters and add extra scenarios, behind the scenes situations that answer my questions until they are explained. I don’t want to say that I rewrite anything because I would never want to do that to the books I love, but I do make them my own. I used to read a lot of Roald Doll, and my favorite book when I was younger was The Phantom Tollbooth. Now I am more into Science Fiction and Fantasy, as well as Jane Austen and Stephen King. Unfortunately, I seldom am able to find the time read.
One very important aspect of my writing you should know is that I cannot spell. Though I have tried everything, my only hope is spell check. My teachers used to think I had a learning disability, but the evidence didn’t match up. Even though I was in an after school special ED. Spelling class in the fifth grade, I was considered to be at an eighth grade reading level as well. With this unfortunate defect, I will not be able to correct most of anyone’s spelling errors. However, with the help of spell check, my dream of being able to have career involving writing is still just as possible.
My curiosity towards writing came from my experience as a theatre child, always creating ways to bring a story to life. As well as my love for movies, especially the novel renditions. I first decided I was interested in writing after reading Shades Children, a Science Fiction novel by Garth Nix. I wanted to be able to tell a story that be as captivating to others, as Shades Children was for me. I also thought the novel had the potential to become a great movie. I then thought to myself, if I don’t write the screen play, who will. At last, my mission in life was born, and here I am.
Sincerly,
