Kikuchiyo
Acolyte
Hello, I'm Kikuchiyo. I'm currently fifteen, going onto sixteen very soon. I am a junior in high school. I joined this website/forum seeking answers to personal dilemmas. From eighth grade to where I am now, I have always been lauded as a good writer. In 10th grade, I averaged a 98% on essays (although I sincerely believe that anybody with a body temperature of 98 degrees and a pulse can do the same). However, I've never been able to acquire a mentor to help me along my creative endeavors. I enjoy fantasy writing (big surprise, eh?) but I am highly doubtful of its quality. The few opinions I have received on the matter, though overwhelmingly positive, I suspect were heavily biased.
I am a ruthless self-critic and I always beat myself up over my writing, even when I'm fairly certain that what I made isn't that bad. I aspire to publish a book one day, but as I mentioned before, the lack of a mentor and support means I am completely lost. I guess I'm like Frodo in that regard. I'm not even out of Hobbiton and I don't know the way.
Hopefully, by joining Mythic Scribes, I can find help and improve my craft. I intend to occasionally post snippets of my writing for criticism in the near future. Who knows? Maybe you people will even think it's good.
On a side note, I am inspired by the works of Tolkien (another big surprise), Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series, Stephen King's Dark Tower, and Arthurian legend. In addition, I am a massive fan of Blind Guardian.
Cheers, fellow scribes! Mayhaps I have finally found a home of sorts for myself here. Long days and pleasant nights to you all.
