General Intro... Hey, my name's Abi. I'm new to this site and i'm still finding my way around. I love to write stories, however i'm not that good at it. I've read a few books, mainly vampire-related ones and the authors are always able to make their books well written. Recently, my favourite author is Charlaine Harris. There's something about how she writes her books that makes them incredibly entertaining and easy to read. I envy her talent, i really do. I have joined this site to post some of my stories in the hope that i will get some advice on how to improve my writing. I know i'm not that good, so please go easy on me. I have this habit that when i go to write a story, i can never start it from the beginning. I imagine the scenes in my head and write them down the best i can. However, this has left me with lots of story parts, but nothing in-between. No start and no ending. However, there are a few story openings i have managed to put together. If i didn't love writing so much, I would give up because there are so many talented authors out there that i don't believe i could ever be as good as. But i have these little story characters in my head, making me write their life story down. So anyway, any help or advice that you could give me on improving my writing would be much appreciated. Reviews are very welcome. I am able to take constructive criticism, as all potential authors are, but please don't be too harsh. Unless you really believe that my writing is a load of rubbish that cannot be fixed. A bit about me... Well as you know, my name's Abi. I live in the UK and I have a passion for writing. My other interests/hobbies include drawing portraits, photography, playing tennis/badminton and generally having a good time. I am soon to be going back to school as a 6th form student studying English Literature, Photography, Graphic Design and Media. I am one of those people that actually likes school...Even Maths. Personality wise, i am a rather nice person. I am respectful of others and i'm nice to people. However if someone gets in my bad books, they stay there for a while. Though i don't tend to hold grudges. I can be awkward and stubborn at times, but we all have our flaws. I love making people laugh, sometimes i fail miserably but that usually makes people smile. I hate seeing people upset and try my best to cheer them up. I always try to 'break the ice' when things get a bit awkward. If you have ever watched the TV show 'Friends' then you will be familiar with the character Chandler Bing...This is who my friends say I am like. Because we both crack dreadful jokes in the attempt to make situations easier and less stressful for others. Oh and i'm incredibly shy, i have a rather low self-esteem and not a lot of confidence, although when i'm online, everything seems to change. If only things were easier in real life. I love music and wish i was a talented guitarist, but we can't all be that lucky. I cannot live without music. It's great for expressing emotion and the type of music you listen to, can say a lot about a person. Some people just listen to the tune of a song, whereas I am one of those that actually listens to the lyrics. I like how just one song can make you feel like you've hit rock bottom and how another can make you feel like the whole world is on your side. There really is a song out there for every mood. I love Giraffes. They're weird, wonderful and have strangely long necks. I also love dogs. I have a pet dog myself which i love to pieces. I am a family person, i get along with all of my relatives really well and wouldn't swap them for the world. We never seem to fall out and we always have a laugh together. I am the youngest of 6 children and i love having so many brothers and sisters. I like comedy films, sometimes horrors and romance ones. TV is great too, although lately there hasn't been much worth watching. I like talent shows such as The X Factor and Britain's Got Talent. I like The Vampire Diaries, True Blood, Friends and a load of other shows that I can't even remember right now. Anyway, i think i've typed enough. This is the most i have ever typed about myself, now i just pray to god that this saves and doesn't get magically erased... Oh and i just signed up to FictionPress too, i'm under username AbiGiraffe. Thanks if you read all of that. And congrats for reading it all, well done. I'm surprised you made it to the end of my ramblings. Anyhoo, i guess all there is to say now is, bye bye x |
