BioI'm a YA writer, as-yet-unpublished. My favorite genre (both to read and write) is fantasy, but I will give just about anything a shot. If the characters capture my attention, I'm pretty much hooked.
I read. A lot. But not quite as much as I buy (books). I own every book on my librarything.
Yes, it is a sickness.
I also review books (CLCD, Librartyhing, First Look), though my reviews on LJ tend to be brief.
Quotes I Like (May Change Periodically):
"If you think you can give up writing, then give it up. If you cant... if you know that no matter how much stress or rejection or frustration you face, that you can never stop writing? In that case, never give up. Publishing is too hard to face if you aren't in it for the right reasons. But it's not too hard to break into if it's what you need to do." ~ Jim McCarthy
"The irony of commitment is that it's deeply liberating - in work, in play, in love. The act frees you from the tyranny of your internal critic, from the fear that likes to dress itself up and parade around as rational hesitation. To commit is to remove your head as the barrier to your life." ~ Anne Morriss
"I don't wait for moods. You accomplish nothing if you do that. Your mind must know it has got to get down to work." ~ Pearl S. Buck
"Try any goddam thing you like, no matter how boringly normal or outrageous. If it works, fine. If it doesn't, toss it. Toss it even if you love it." ~ Stephen King
Regarding polishing of manuscripts: "Even gold needs polishing to help it shine it's brightest" ~ Caren Johnson Estesen
"It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities." ~ Albus Dumbledore in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by J. K. Rowling
