Re: How long have you been writing?
As far as I can remember, I have always been fascinated with books and how they take you places that you can't always take yourself to.
However, I don't think I truly considered myself a writer until I was older. I really got into writing in my teens, perhaps seventeen-ish and I still am so far. I don't think I would ever be able to stop writing. There's some kind of... compulsion to write.
Even though I have never actually published a book, I still consider myself a writer. Of course, it is not professionally or anything, but it is a passion, and it is a passion that runs very, very deep. If I could live off that, I definitely would. I just don't have the courage to actually send a manuscript.

When did I start? I started writing books and developing characters somewhere around age 9 or 10.
What got me started? The excitement of creating something new. I suppose it's the same of my love of drawing.

I attempted to write fanfiction before of a beloved anime and never found myself in a good spot. Last year I started my own fantasy story and I think it's going well ^^ I'm learning more when I write

- Latest Review: Illustrated Short Fiction of William H. Coles: 2000-2016 by William H. Coles
However, I've always had stories floating around in mybhead, and I do remember most of what I wrote in my teen years. Recently, I came up with a setting, characters, and a plot. And I wrote it down. Once, it's done, I want to publish it! Probably do that myself.

Two years ago I started submitting pieces to a literacy trust's mobi reading community website (removed by mod) (because I felt I could do better than the other writers ). I have since progressed to their pool of commissioned writers and now receive payment for my scribbling. This has inspired me to improve and hone my craft so that I may, in the not too distant future, write and successfully publish my first novel. I have several titles, already with story ideas and broad plot and them angles in my 'New titles' folder on my phone. I do all my writing on my smartphone!
Wish me luck and all the best to everyone with their writing projects.
With warm regards
Sheherezade (Cher heh rer zaad)

At some point that all changed. Love Is Never Past Tense was originally written in Russian, then translated in English in 2011. As for the future, I am not quite ready to share...
