So, I am new and wanting to introduce myself. I am a college student currently seeking a degree in mathematical sciences and writing fiction on the side. I've been writing very simple and short things for the better part of a decade, currently, but nothing really worthy of any attention. I enjoy writing a good deal and have recently been encouraged to try my hand at writing a novel or short story. Naturally, before I try my hand at an undertaking like that, I want to get involved with a group which can give me solid feedback.
So, I should share a little bit about myself. I try to be logical and meticulous in most things. I also love to laugh and deconstruct concepts. I listen to music ranging from Nightwish to Ronald Jenkees to The Beatles to Blink 182. If I had my way I would be fully nocturnal, but most institutions are not open at nighttime. I have a theory that humor is the human mind's reaction to something it perceives as absurd, hence nonsensical statements can often be hilarious. My own jokes are often sarcastic or based around puns and wordplay. (For example, I've recently had an exchange with a friend that went something like this:
Friend: I'm bored.
Me: Well, try being a board instead. That's not boring at all.
Friend: What?
Me: Unless of course there is a woodworker trying to bore a hole in you. You have no idea how boring that is.)
Anyways, to share my current idea for a story: I am thinking about writing a novel with a more serious tone than all my talk about humor would imply. The story would be set in a fantasy world where all major characters in the story are deities. The plot would take place over the course of many thousand years and follow one particular deity.
