I really, really love stories of almost any kind :D

Unfortunately, I'm someone who has such an unbelievable amount of things happening in my life, (which is not to say there isn't anyone busier than me, of course,) that I don't have nearly as much time as I'd like to write stories here.

I really do intend to finish my only real, 'full' fic, X Days; I have the whole plot planned out, and I really do think that it's a relatively good story... But like I said, as much as I love the story/characters/universe that I'm working with, I have other important things in life, unfortunately.

I'd say my writing improved to a satisfactory standard partway through X Days -Marked-, which is the only complete story that I've written that I'm relatively proud of, ahah. I'd like to think that I had a few twists that surprised, and a few moments that were rather emotional... But it's hard to judge your own work, I think.

If you enjoy writing, (especially if you're also familiar with The World Ends With You,) I strongly recommend that you check out the [Twelve Shots of Summer] forum and community, as well as the [Shibuya Operation - Story Storm] forum and community; the people there sent me many kind words of encouragement when I first started off writing, (in fact, they still do,) and because of them, I was able to refine myself to the point where I was given the opportunity to write professionally.

(There's also Aviantei's [Equinoctial Stars over Seasons]; a lovely place to to talk with similarly lovely people, if the mood strikes.)

Without them, I legitimately may have not had the confidence to continue to practice writing.
... Oh, and drawing as well, actually.

I'm so very grateful for their continued support, Chronic Guardian and Aviantei in particular are something like heroes to me, and I constantly wish that I was doing more to express my gratitude to them. Do check out their works, especially, like I said earlier, if you are a fan of The World Ends With You, which is a personal favourite of mine.

Slightly unrelated to writing is Chronic Guardian's DeviantArt page; having watched him upload sketches for a few years, (wow, it's been years) I can see that his already solid art has improved drastically over the course of time.

Same goes to Aviantei, whose work has seen similar improvement, (though it pales in comparison to her writing style; she may very well be my favourite writer here, alongside good ol' CG.)

If you enjoy visual art, as well as written art, why not have a look?

Have a lovely, creative day, yes?
