Reading Excuses / Re: Your Background
« on: March 08, 2011, 04:59:19 AM »
Hi. You can call me Cat. I'm 19 and a sophomore in college, hoping to go into archaeology. I write...alternate universe urban fantasy? I don't know what to call it, because urban fantasy evokes images of werewolves and vampires in dark alleys, and it's not like that at all, but it is fantasy, and a lot of it is urban, though some of it takes place in the countryside...argh. Okay, it's definitely not epic fantasy or sword and sorcery or anything like that. It's also on the boundary between YA and adult fantasy. Anyway, I've been writing novels pretty consistently since I was 14. My first series sort of sucked, but has some (I think) good ideas, which I'm stealing and parceling out to other stories. I have completed another series of 5 books which I think is a good bit better and which I hope to get published one day, but my hopes aren't high. Anyway, now I'm writing a sort of sequel series. I've done NaNoWriMo once, but for several more years I just hung out in the forums and didn't actually participate. And that's enough about me.
