Quite, occasionally, moment, and I tend to overuse comma's. My daily speech consists of these words, though, so they seep into my writing way too often. Of course it looks worse to me because I'm aware that I'm overusing the words.

I make occasional mistakes, and I'm completely aware of it. I haven't been on Mythic Scribes for very long, so quite obviously I do not have a say in that, but on other forums I can not stand it. I usually lose a lot of respect for those who can't capitalize their sentences, refuses to learn...

I can't say that it is unprofessional, probably not a road I would want to go down, but unprofessional is a bit strong of a word. I think that introducing a character that reflects the author can easily get out of hand, especially in a fantasy setting, not saying that if done correctly, it can...

I don't create profiles, and I rarely do unless the book has a large amount of characters. I usually create my characters as I go along in a book, I find it easier for myself when I can begin shaping a personality, design, and so on as I continue throughout the book. It works quite well for...

It's a good excuse to do a lot of things. >.> So, Aidan, you like to sit in chairs? Or are you talking about the adventurous part of this chair sitting thing? You know, when we're not actually sitting in a chair, but instead somewhere that could possibly be life threatening, like the mall...

Indeed it can be, I've had those *sigh* moments plenty of times, in fact, I'm having one write now haha. Other than that, things are going rather good. What about yourself? Sounds exciting! Crossovers seem to be very fun to write, I feel like I can add quite a bit more to one of my books...

My goodness, I feel as if I'm always suffering from writers block. I'll think that one of my ideas for a novel is extraordinarily good, and I'll have determination and motivation for a few days, but that usually disappears rather quickly, leaving me to write a different book because I simple do...

It's not "wrong" for you to be a writer because you haven't read a book. Reading isn't a requirement, heck, there aren't requirements to being an author. Reading is helpful, though. You begin to understand what people are interested in, what you enjoy writing, and ways to improve the way your...

Thank you all very much for the welcomes!

I used to play quite a bit, and I was indeed addicted to it for a long time. But it seems to have gone downhill, I've broken the addiction and I now can only stand the game for a few minutes at a time. I don't believe that it is a drug anymore, but I know that's only because I lost interest...

Don't feel like you must add a dragon into your story. If you feel as if none of your ideas are original enough and you're unhappy with what you've come up with, try to think of something different to use that could take place of the dragon. This could also help you brainstorm some ideas...

I only read one or two books at a time. I have a hard time reading many due to the fact that I tend to get absorbed in a single book and all other books are ignored until I finish reading it. I am reading almost constantly, too, so I read and write, but I read more than just fantasy when I'm...

It started a long time ago. You know that stage in life where you're just figuring out what you really like in reading material? Well I went through this for a long time, switching between history, mystery, and so on. My grandmother sent me a wonderful series, The Last Herold Mage, which is...

Most fantasy novels tend to be cliche from my experience, which I wouldn't say is a bad thing, as long as there is some originality in the story itself. I would consider cliche a bad thing, but that's just my personal opinion. When a book gets to the point where the plot is so overused...

Yes, I do. I think most people have a feeling of doubt when writing at times, I know I have. Sometimes I'll read a passage of a novel to a family member, and even if I get positive comments from them, I always feel as if it wasn't good enough, that I didn't add enough of something, like detail...
