Hey everyone. I thought I'd go ahead and introduce myself, even if I'm a little late. I've already been posting a bunch of stuff and have critiqued a couple of works, but I realized I never said who I was. So here goes.
I've been writing since I was twelve years old and have enjoyed every minute of it. My writing journey started out when my dad told me my handwriting was sloppy and jokingly told me I should do standards to improve it. (If you don't know what standards are let me tell you. First of all, I HATED doing them as a kid. Me and my brother's punishment whenever we did something wrong was to take anywhere from 20-100 pieces of lined paper, depending on what we did, and write the same sentence over and over and over and over and over... well, you get the point. Every line, front and back on every page had to be filled. We had to write, for example: 'I will follow the rules' or 'I will obey my parents', things like that. If you can't tell by now, I REALLY hated doing those).
Anyways, he ended up suggesting I start writing stories. He recommended I make them about a superhero. A superhero named Bob.
I jumped on the idea, after all I was only twelve, and thus began my first stories ever. Even though I thought they were great at the time, looking back I can see just how bad they really were. The storyline was full of holes, nothing made sense, it was a mess. I still have those stored away, and even though the pages are yellowed now, I still break them out once in a while and read them over. It's always a good laugh to see how far I've come in my writing journey since then. Now, I'm in contact with a professional publisher, D.I. Telbat (I highly recommend his novels). He sends out a newsletter every few weeks and has offered to recommend my books in the newsletter whenever they are in tip-top shape. I'm working with him and his editor to get them in perfect condition and will be sending the prequel to my series out really soon on here for whoever wants to critique it.
I am currently in college, working towards a bachelor's in Literature. I plan to become an editor when I get out, probably In-House, but I haven't decided for sure yet. I really hope I can use my knowledge and the things I am still learning to offer some meaningful feedback. I'm soooo glad there is a Christian community of writers like this. I hadn't known such a thing existed until a few days ago.
A little bit more about myself: I love playing the piano, working out, hiking, listening to Christian music, and reading a good book (the Bible chief of all).
God bless y'all and I look forward to getting to know everyone better.
