I write first, then make corrections later. Hello! Sorry for the enthusiasm. You're welcome for the enthusiasm? The enthusiasm is there. So I guess I'll get right down to it. I guess you could say I'm a fan of writing. Reading is pretty great, too. I mostly just sit at home and play guitar, though (notice how I only have about five chapters per story?). Inconsistency is kind of my thing. No, really. It is. It may be a horrible, horrible thing, but it's still my thing. I generally am indifferent to society, and couldn't tell you five percent of the musicians in mainstream circulation. I can be a bit of a potty mouth. Like, I really, really think cursing is quite the thing. das jus me n imma do muh thang. Never let me do that again. That is such an eyesore. The genre I've read most would probably be post-apocalyptic dystopian science-fiction, and I've written two stories in the genre. My favorite genre is surely a mix between folklore and urban fantasy. I have one story in that genre. I highly appreciate good grammar, and I'm not saying I'm the greatest writer alive. I certainly am not the best with grammar. I've got quite a firm grip, though. But I will make silly errors all the time. Pointing them out would be nice of you! I have a yellow labrador retriever named Riley. He is eight years old. He is a puppy. I guess this is as good a place any to inform you I am eighteen years of age. I've already mentioned I play guitar. On top of that, I play ukulele, piano, and my favorite instrument is my voice. Not because I'm particularly great at singing, but because it just lets me scream things melodically. It doesn't let me express emotions. What are those? Finally, I'm really not as indecent as I seem. Just... keep your stupidity at bay. Because I can be.

@KaylaKeifer Si, si.
Ah, I see. Well, there is still that possibility that we could get along!
@KaylaKeifer It's not that I'm not into mainstream bands—it's just most of them really, really suck. There are a few reputable musicians in the mainstream (they aren't anymore, but they were at one point; Jason Mraz, The Fratellis, Jack Johnson, a couple others). But yes, I play guitar and stuff. So sure, perhaps we shall get along well!
Just read that you play the guitar and are not into mainstream bands. So I thought we'd get along great! :)
Alright, well, chapter four is up in Bill of Wrongs. But I think I may extend on it.
If you want a wacky Wizard of Oz parody, look no further than Lizard of Pause! The first chapter is up, but it is not complete. Just wanted to let you guys know I had that in the works!
The new chapter needs a bit of editing, but it's up!
@DanielBlanchette I can't thank you enough :)
Wow. As I look back at my older works, I see just how much I've learned about writing.
So I don't end up getting slaughtered on here, I need to say this: There is a lot of cursing in the revised Bill of Wrongs, as well as racism from a specific person. That is generally short-lived, though. The cursing is almost a constant, but it gives the characters that do more personality when you give them each their own language and code of ethics. Don't worry, I won't barrage you guys with f-bombs or racism. It isn't me talking, it's my characters, just want you all to remember that!
