Wyndi Gayle
Acolyte
It's been a LONG time since I've been active on any kind of forum, but boy do I remember spending HOURS on them back in the day! I've missed it. So imagine my joy in finding you guys! I look forward to seeing what everyone is working on and sharing some of my own randomness.
My name is Wyndi. I have been writing, in some form or another, for over 24 years. I did not discover my love of writing until I was nearly 30 years old, but once I started I couldn't stop. I've mostly written for myself and on role-playing forums, but I have now dipped my toes into self-publishing. Took long enough! Actually, it took meeting my husband to spark the idea of actually doing anything with my writing other than role-playing forums. I didn't start with a novel, however. He has a love of comic books, and actually piqued my interest in the medium as well. But I couldn't quell the urge to write more descriptively and in-depth. So, even though my first writing credit came in the form of a short four-page anthology piece for a comic book store, when I finished my first full-length comic I just had to write that same story in prose. I love to delve into the inner workings of characters' minds, share their motivations and feelings. That's not as easy to do in a comic book.
Okay, I'm rambling. Just wanted to give a little history of where my writing began and where it's going. Right now, I am crowdfunding my first comic/novella. It's going well, but I'm a little disappointed in the lack of interest in the novella. Hopefully that changes with the next one.
