I always find starting something new a challenge. When you're already halfway through it's easy, it flows naturally. But beginning something....that's a different kettle of fish.
Take this for instance, where do I begin? I want this to be a creative writing blog but it would be strange not to introduce myself first, but that, in itself, seems strange.
I mean, how do you introduce yourself?
Oh, were you expecting an answer? Because I don't know, it's open to discussion.
Oh, fine. I suppose I could try, if I must.
Unless you haven't already guessed, my name is Flora. Flora Mae High. Don't ask about the 'Mae' part, I don't know.
No, really, I don't.
Okay, okay! Jeez, you're persistent. It was taken from my grandmother, who was named after Mae West. And no, neither of us are remotely similar to her. Apart from being blonde. Though I'm pretty sure hers was fake (Mae West, not my nan).
What else can I say?
I'm a student. Wooh to reckless drinking and intoxication by illegal substances, which, of course, all young people are involved in nowadays. Including me. Obviously. It's not like I prefer Ribena and multivitamins or anything...
As I mentioned before, I want this to be a creative writing blog. I want to be an author of that awkward type of fiction which lies somewhere between teenage and adult. Like Hunger Games, for example - it's too violent for children and young teenagers, but (some would consider) too immature for adults. Basically I want my writing to have a sense of reality to it, but still be for the younger readers. Oh, the awkward choices I make...
What else can I say? I don't want to give too much of myself away because this blog isn't really about me, it's about my writing. Though if I find something of interest, I will be sure to pass it on.
Yawn, I'm tired.
It's getting late so I'm thinking of finishing up for now.
I'll probably post my writing in chapter blocks (yes, it's a book...well, a trilogy in fact) though I have no idea what the word count is for posts....ah well, I'll figure something out when the time comes.
I should probably post a summary of what it's about, too, before I start posting the actual thing.
Oh, how troublesome.
I'll, hopefully, post it sometime during the next week. But I'm awful at keeping things up, so don't hold me to my word.
Though friendly farewells are not in my nature, I feel I probably should seeing as you've been nice enough to read to the end.
So...
Have a unawful weekend (sorry, it was the best I could muster)
P.S. Forgot to say before, constructive criticisms would be good, thanks :) (Ack, a sideways smile. Beware. They slyly plot your death whilst making you believe they like you....exceedingly cunning, avoid at all costs)
