Princess M of Disaster
It's not nearly as glamorous as fiction would make us think.
I've never imagined the life of a writer to be glamorous. In fact, I'd probably ditch the idea if it was, because I tend to be a very private person. It's just that... how should I put it? I have a lot of ideas in my head, and I simply need some way to get them out of there. It's part of the reason I roleplay on Gaia, in fact, but that's a different subject.
I haven't practiced much at writing or art--mostly I just study--so I'm not very good at expressing myself through pen and pencil. I do read quite a lot, however, and have a deep love of books, so writing seemed like the most natural outlet for my thoughts. I know from what I've done so far that I have yet to gain the literary eloquence that is required of a good writer, but one can only hope I'll improve in time. Currently I already have a number of stories I'm working on; though I somewhat doubt that I'll wind up publishing any of them. It's a nice dream, however, or at least something to keep in mind as I pour myself into their creations.
In short, I'm not writing to become a writer... I'm playing at being writer because I feel the need to write.
