So... I introduced myself way way back under an old screen name. But to avoid confusion, I'll just re-introduce myself here. My name's Liz, I love the Dresden Files, and reading, and I've been writing stories since I learned to write. My Mom probably has the stories I wrote in third grade about a dog tucked away somewhere.
I'm a writer with many neurosis, and I have a tempermental muse that likes to torment me. I only hope that my wirters angst will ultimately make the writing I do accomplish all the more real for the suffering it took to get it on paper.
I used to write fanfic, but I don't anymore. When I was in middle school high school I wrote up fanfic for everything I was into, Star Trek NG, Anne McCaffereys Dragonriders, KA Applegates animorphs... But it wasn't until I actually sent my story idea off to one of the authors, and *obviously* got rejected, that I opted to stop writing fanfic. I think the main reason I went that route is because I only have so much passion and motivation to write with on a given day, I don't want to blow it all on something that will never be published to a wide audience.
And publication is what I want. It's what I dream of, aspire to, and plan to keep chasing until I succeed. It's not about 'fame'. I don't care if -I- never get noticed. But I want to share this world I have imagined with others, I want to know that this fantasy that I can see so clearly in my mind is shared with others, and that they like it enough to want to live there too.
Jim butcher is my hero, I think my ultimate dream is to someday be able to give a copy of MY published book for him to keep, just so I can tell him that he was the inspiration that kept me going. He's an awesome fantastic man.
As far as how close I am to maybe starting on the road to being discovered, well I have book one of my series 99% complete and book two is 75% complete. It was originally going to be one tale, but it got too long. I have the events outlined for another six books in the series at least. It's an epic, but I hope that will make it all the more desirable for a publisher. Oh, and I'm writing it with a partner who I both rely on completely, and want to strangle at any given moment. We're like Harry and Bob.
But enough about me, I'm just like all of you anyway.

Eh... I'll ford through. At least it's free!
Or do I need to go drown myself in angst for missing it?
