I used to haunt to old forum, though admittedly didn't post much. I just happened to type in google, doing a bit of nostalgia hunting, I guess, and I find this place had been back up and running for more than a whole year! Hopefully I can be a bit more active this time. New name, new attitude? Maybe?
I write mostly short stories and 'flash fiction' at the minute but I want to eventually write novels and I'm thinking of expanding into non-fiction and other forms of creative writing including fanfiction. A little bit of everything basically, that's my style. I don't care what I'm writing, as long as I'm writing. I know I'm a bit ambitious but I've found sticking to a niche, as the advice suggests, actually drains me more of my creativity than just letting myself make the choice when I sit down.
My ultimate life goal is to write at least one series in every broad genre but my main at the minute is fantasy, because that's what I grew up reading, (and being disappointed by). And as my English teacher used to say, if you can't find what you want to read, write it.

Fabulous to have you back, Nocturne! Other than Facebook, we had no useful way of letting folks know we had reopened the community. Members have been slowly trickling in, along with a few new faces. It's great to know what you've been up to. I checked out your website, and it looks like you've been busy. Fantastic.

I love when past members stumble upon us once again! Welcome back! I say write what you want. Most people love reading a book series that defies expectation.

Welcomeback and glad that you rediscovered us. Write what you want, they waay you want to. I've found that writing genres that I'm not familiar/comfortabl with has helped me improve. Poetry themost as I've continued with that in an on and off fashion.
