Hello, I'm W.D. Lady :-)
I've been here for quite some time, in fact for like four years or something like that… 2006, I think? I was here for only a short time and then posted a few stories and fan fiction. I eventually didn't have enough time to write due to college and trying to graduate. I'm working a little bit now and trying to get one of my stories posted.
It's an original story and it's still a work in progress. I've been writing for as long as I could remember even though I started off pretty bad. I've been trying to improve my writing despite certain issues in my life and my problems with trying to be perfect all the time. I've eased off a little bit and I'm trying to be a bit laid back, but I'm a hard worker and certainly not the same person I was before. I love writing a little bit of everything, but mostly focusing on psychological thrillers, sci-fi/fantasy, and comedy/adventure. Not so much into the romance… but I do like drama and sometimes action. I do write things on the controversial side since I like to question themes like God, religion, sexuality and some other issues. Often some people find my works rather offending, some love them and others hate them, but I try to have interesting characters and develop interesting plot twists.
I'm really good at developing characters and creating depth, I think that's my strongest point whether they are good or bad. In addition, I'm really good with creating realistic dialogue, yet I lack the skills to do very much detail and scenery. Trying really hard to change that and to focus on minor details even though it is tiresome and a bit tedious at times. I am a very slow writer and sometimes it will take me years to develop an interesting storyline; I feel I don't want to rush it, so I take my time with ideas and try to revise as much as I can.
Sometimes I'm pretty much my worst critic, actually… I am my worst critic. I get a little down sometimes because I don't feel that my writing is up to par and a lot of it has to do with my attitude. Things have been pretty tough for me, even though I did graduate, I just don't have a very good job right now… and it pays very little and I'm only working part-time. I do, however, want to become a published writer. I think the only problem for me as a writer is just having confidence in my own work.
Anyway, that's probably enough information about me. Maybe too much...
