    @corissa you should probably know that I’m a Christian, I love writing poetry on any topic that inspires me, and I write fantasy and maybe in the future contemporary fiction. I love world-building, that much you can see under Introduce Yourself – Hello *shy wave*. I would recommend that Tashah Claymore comes onto this guild too because she, like me, is really into world-building and language creating. I am currently working on two languages but have planned out around twenty-two, and those just the first basic ones. (I think by then, my creative streak will be kinda worn). Well, that’s about it, unless I can think of anything else. OH, yes. I love coffee. And I’m fourteen, birthday in December, and I like fantastical names, as long as they’re good. I’m kinda sarcastic…sometimes. But not all of the time. I play the piano and guitar – the latter for my church -, I’m into old archaic words that enrich my speech. I planned to go about the making of my worlds first by constructing the languages as Tolkien did, though that failed because I delved farther into it all than I had planned. The reason I went about this was because when I first had the idea for my book, I thought it was great and it had some potential. I now look back on that and cringe deeply for the main character’s name was…aaagh…james nixon. Terrible, I know. Anyway, that petered out and I lost interest, but then I began looking into Tolkien and his life and it totally changed. I began as he did. And it has really turned out for the better. I also love playing with little kids. And I like to make them laugh. And make them bored with my poetry. And give them candies. You might say I’m kinda like an old man. I’m saving up for a computer so I can either start a blog or website where I can promote my stuff and on there, gather the best of my poems into a book format fit for publishing. That’s about it. I think.

    @chalice – Hello, Chalice and thanks! As seen above, I like to write fantasy, and I recently had a really sad dream about this guy (me as that guy) who’s large house out in the woods was overcome by a large flood and his whole family destroyed in it. He was watching it as it fell to the water’s force. After this, he was sent to this house where he lived for some time as a foster child. Anyway, I’m thinking about writing a book with some of these elements in them. This may turn into my contemporary fiction novel.

    So! Who are you people and what do you guys like to write or build in the fictional sense?
