Biography: | Hello, there, anyone who happens to come across this page. First and formost, I would like to thank you for taking the time to visit my author page and/or for reading my stories. It means a great deal to me, and I do wish that I was better at expressing my gratitude, but, as odd as it may or may not seem, I'm actually rather shy about responding properly. It's a very bad habit, as it were, of mine. I'm also notoriously bad at reviewing and/or commenting on that which I like ... if I find something that I like, I tend to clam up some and not be able to think of what to say past the standard, "Oh wow! That was simply exquisite!" And, really, I feel that it's not too worth it to clutter up a person's reviews with something so inane from me. Call it low self-opinion, if you will, but why should the fact that I, someone who's not even really known, found someone's story to be exquisite matter too much, if I'm unable to even cite why I think it so? I know, it's nice to have the ego-boost, but I don't know why my opinion, with nothing to back it up, would really be too important.
With that said, I don't mean to come off as some kind of a crazed, depressive, self-depreciating freak. By no means do I mean to do that at all. I guess that, over time, I've just gotten a low opinion over myself and my work. So, if you're looking for a surefire way to get me all flustered, the quickest way to do so is to say something nice about my work, if you so choose. Kind of a sad-but-true kind of thing.
But that's all neither here nor there, is it? So, moving along, then, I am sorry for my above rambling. I guess you could say that it's just my giving people an insight to what I do, and for anyone who's wondering why I've placed them or their story in my favorites to know why I may not necessarily be commenting.
That said, I'll move along to introducing myself.

Hello to everyone, my name is Josie. I'm a twenty-year-old college student who is still in th process of battling it out with myself to decide what I wish to major in (I'm currently debating between teaching and business. Because, you know, they're so correlated). My main hobbies include writing, drawing, reading, watching anime, reading manga, playing video games, and website design, and my current largest fandoms are Digimon, Yu-Gi-Oh, DN Angel, Juvenile Orion: Aquarian Age, Shaman King, Fullmetal Alchemist, Chrno Crusade, and Weiß Kreuz, though I may or may not write for them as I pick and choose. I tend to do more artwork than writing, although I take an inordinately long time on both, simply because it's much easier to grab a sheet of paper and sketch something while at work than to sit there and plan out a scene while getting interrupted by customers (however, considering I bring my laptop to classes, it's much easier to sneak in scene-writing while taking notes than it is for me to draw during them, so I make up for lost time on my stories then).
I tend to get writers block a lot, which is probably my largest problem. That is why my chaptered stories tend to get stuck without updates for a while ... I have the ideas, I just can't seem to manage to write them out properly. My other problem tends to be the fact that I'm a bit of a perfectionist. If I find one thing I don't like in what I've written while reading it over again once it's completed, I will hold off on releasing it and constantly rework things until I can finally get them to gel properly, in my head. |
