A bit longer than my other Introvert pieces. But like all of them, so very true.

Wow, I love this... I feel I can relate to so much that you have said here... One day I'd like to be brave enough to share my work with my friends and loved ones. I think this is a very good exercise and will definately be checking out your other pieces...
:iconmyah5000:
Thanks! Feel free to browse- but I warn you. I write a lot of fanfiction.

I think that a lot of writers could relate to this. We aren't so different, after all.

We write (to express) ourselves through others... maybe because we're too afraid to express ourselves as ourselves... writing helps us to determine our true motives, dreams, and fears.- =illuminara

This... this is me. I'm just saying. And I so want to know your characters one day. Maybe you'll show us who they are?

To answer your question in the end, yes it is. It's funny how with each character I write of my own, a piece of me is there. Just a small bit. It's how I know my characters are mine.

Maybe. Maybe I will.

You're going to like Bree.

And you're right about the characters. Renee's a writer (obvious, I know) but both she and Frankie have a few of my insecurities. Aisha's my opposite- an extroverted party girl. But there's a piece of me in there too. I guess that's part of why our writing is so personal. They're our babies.

Exactly. If you didn't write yourself in it, than it's not your characters really. They're just... people. Random people who mean nothing.

The dA link from FB is impressive, I admit. ;)

Fanfiction has always been an arena to me - somewhere I go to challenge myself and be seen. Somewhere I can learn and develop my skills with the help of my peers.

But I feel like I'm ready to get 'real'. I feel like my characters are ready to be seen and heard. All I want is to make a living off of something I love. Is that too much to ask of The Universe? :XD:

It may be so, but with my friends, I don't think anyone'll check it out. :shrug:

Ah, not too much to ask. As I said- we seem to have moved in different directions when it comes to fanfiction.

I've moved in a lot of directions with fanfiction, but then again I am WAY older than you ;)
