Not much really to say...I live in Nebraska, which, for those of you unaware of geography or culture, is in the center of the United States.We have no beaches, and i most certainly do NOT live in a cornfield. (You wouldn't believe how many people get confused about that sort of thing.) But rather a city. Ha, we have the College World Series of Baseball here, and it is the absolute best thing ever. That is the highlight of my year, even though i usually don't really care who wins...I'm obviously fluent in english. I studied German for six years, and Spanish for the last two years of high school. Next year, i will start studying Japanese, oh joy. I plan to try for the Monbusho scholarship to Japan my senior year. That way, i will live there a year, at least. I also plan to be aRhodes Scholar, and someday, I will be Secretary of State. Incollege i am double majoring in English and International Studies. I'm aSophomore in college this year (time goes so fast), and I've been writing original fiction in my spare time since I was a freshman in high school.
Note to those aspiring writers: it might be a good idea to start with fanfiction. As I learned the hard way, you tend to suck when you get started and get better as you go along. Also known as practice. Now I have to rewrite my first book because i can't stand it. At least with fan fiction you can chalk up your losses and go on with your life. Then again, development of characters is an important skill!
Fanfiction is an exercise for me. I've come to notice that quite a few of my characters are alike, and that's not good. So i wanted to take a crack at writing for characters that someone else created just to see if i could do it, not to mention learning something about my own writing from it. Oh, and if you notice thatany of my charactersis blantently out of character, don't hesitate to let me know...since my whole point in being here is to writing them in character...domo arigato! (P.S. I have a B/V one for DBZ, but i am not going to post it until i finish it, to avoid disappointing people like i did last time. Still, with the inuyasha one i am going to try my damnest to finish it because i feel bad. PEople have been SO encouraging! I know i don't say it enough, thanks to everyone who reviewed. It is such an inspiration!)
Obviously, Iwas recently introduced to anime, and it's been distracting me badly ever since. My favorites are Inuyasha, Cowboy Bebop, Lupin III, Yu Yu Hakusho, and more recently, Dragonball Z. I also have found the shorter series(es) that recently appeared on Adult Swim: Big O and Kikaider. They rock. Ich muss gehen. Sayonara, adios!
Damn those languages. I so rarely speak English anymore...it drives my friends absolutely up the wall, because they can't understand what i'm saying.
