Hello, everyone! Welcome to my profile.

((Here's an update for you guys. I got my computer up on Friday (March 14, 2014) I won't have anything posted until I typed and edited everything. It'll take longer than I thought; maybe a couple weeks, at most. Anyway, I'l leting you all know that I am back!))

I've been getting into a lot of writing, mostly stories that pop in my head randomly or that I come up with original stories of my own. However, I've been getting into the realm of fanfiction. I'd might say, it's been getting quite enjoyable to write on my down time and breaks between work.

Here's a little about me:

I go by the pseudonym Mist Howler. I'm in my twenties (and getting older!) and livin' in Southern California. I happen to love Science Fiction films, games, and literature. You guys will constantly be seeing my fanfics of my favorite genre (Sci-fi) and I may toss in a few fantasy ones here and there. I am also an artist that often works in the digital medium with occasional traditional works (with crayons!). I have a deviantART profile you guys can go to to see my art; I'll have a separate section for artwork related to my fanfictions, eventually.

At any rate, that's just a bit about myself. I'll be consistently updating my profile, here and there, but this is what I've got for now! :)

Cheers!

Mist Howler

Random Quotes:

“Fanfiction isn't copying - it's a celebration. One long party, from the first capital letter to the last full stop!”
-Jasper Fforde, One of Our Thursdays Is Missing

"Listen to great storytellers; slowly, you will learn about voice, timing, tension, structure, climax - all the things you need to tell stories that will capture the imagination of your audience."
-Carmen Agra Deedy

"Imagination and fiction make up more than three quarters of our real life."
-Simone Weil

"Do not put statements in the negative form.
And don't start sentences with a conjunction.
If you reread your work, you will find on rereading that a great deal of repetition can be avoided by rereading and editing.
Never use a long word when a diminutive one will do.
Unqualified superlatives are the worst of all.
De-accession euphemisms.
If any word is improper at the end of a sentence, a linking verb is.
Avoid trendy locutions that sound flaky.
Last, but not least, avoid cliches like the plague."
-William Safire, "Great Rules of Writing"

"Writing a book is a horrible, exhausting struggle, like a long bout of some painful illness. One would never undertake such a thing if one were not driven on by some demon whom one can neither resist nor understand."
-George Orwell, "Why I Write," 1947

"Fanfiction is what literature might look like if it were reinvented from scratch after a nuclear apocalypse by a band of brilliant pop-culture junkies trapped in a sealed bunker. They don't do it for money. That's not what it's about. The writers write it and put it up online just for the satisfaction. They're fans, but they're not silent, couchbound consumers of media. The culture talks to them, and they talk back to the culture in its own language.”
-Lev Grossman
