@sir-leeds So, HI! *awkward wave* (I’m going through all the intros that I missed cause I’m a new member, so this is my extremely late response to your awesome introduction :D)
First off, nice list of mentors! Secondly, *insert Cheshire smile* you sound like what I call the perfect backboard. I also like being a backboard for people to bounce ideas off of and listening to story concepts. I like watching them flesh out into something dynamic that teems with life. Backboarding is what helps me develop my stories, get out of writing ruts, and basically brainstorm my way through a story. XD
As for goals, you have a great one. There’s nothing quite like having a paper copy of a physical bound book in your hands. And to have one with your name on it? That would be epic. You’ve got a wide range of skills too, which is awesome! I hate meter. It makes my head hurt. *winces*
I think…well, I have a lot of goals, honestly. I’m very goal-oriented, very meticulous, and very proactive. I like to plan things out. Anyway, I guess…one of my writing goals would be…well, for one, I’d like to finish the fanfiction I started before college *headdesk* Apparently, there are still amazing people who want to know how it ends…nearly six years later…so, I’ve really got to get on that now that school isn’t consuming my life. For an original writing goal, the one I’ve had the longest, is to finish the book I started as a kid. I’ve got a lot invested into it, into the world, the characters, and the plot. So, I’m not letting that one go, even if I have to revise the pie out of it, even if it’s unrecognizable when I finish. I will finish that thing. One day.
So, yeah, there are two of my writing goals. 🙂 Skills…yeesh…um, well, I’m great with grammar! No, really, I’m very good with it. 😀 I’m pretty good at brainstorming. Not so good with spelling. I’m very detail-oriented and I’m a problem solver. I like puzzles and I’m usually pretty good at figuring them out.
Nice to meet you! *waves*
