So! The blog begins. If you have any questions about who the heck I am and why I'm posting, I shall post some brief stats (mostly since I have no clue how to use the profile section yet!)
What do I write? YA fantasy fiction. It's been Greek mythology so far (think Percy Jackson with gothic romance and Pratchett-esque style humour) but I intend to move on to sci-fi and fairytales in future works. I am at heart a fantasy writer.
How many books have I written? HADES and its sequel are complete, the third and last in the trilogy is in the process of a long re-draft, and The Immortal Zeus is edging toward completion. So 4 total.
How long have I been writing? I wrote often throughout childhood, but never seriously until 2 years ago. HADES was started in the summer of '08.
How long have I been trying to get an agent? For only a few months now. I have approached 3 so far; details coming later.
Am I doing it just for fun? No - this is my intended future career. Writing is as much fun for me as reading, but I also take the craft and the work involved in it seriously.
Biggest influences? Diana Wynne Jones, Terry Pratchett, J K Rowling, Tolkien. Stephen King is my god :)
And finally...why did I start this blog? As a handy journal of successes, failures, and notes along the long, winding road to (hopeful) success. And also because I had to as a class project. Haha.
