new year, new stuff one hopes

Sun Jan 25, 2009, 8:41 PM
no funerals, so that's already a brighter look from last year. less heartbreak, also a plus. i really ought to say none, but for some reason that would seem like lying. but perhaps what i'm hoping to be the biggest difference, is that i've finished The City, at around 120,000 words...and am working on a query letter to hopefully acquire myself a literary agent.
i'm finding the letter harder than the actual story.
still, with any luck, this year will be better than the last.

Um, name is Daniel. I'm not that old, though for some reason people think I am. I'm a writer. It's the only thing I've got relative skill at that I enjoy doing, and so that's mainly what I put up here. I've recently finished a story, and am working on finding representation to get published. It's pretty big for me to even finish a story, since I've been told I have writer's ADD or something. I don't know about that, I just like working on multiple stories simultaneously.
Not much else to me really. I'm pretty open minded, and like any writer who's looking to improve would appreciate any and all criticism of my writing, or just talking. Whatever really.

probably not, but the grin is a pretty good one. i mean, all big mouthed and toothy, and he's doing like the "hey, hey" eyebrow thing. :D

awww...you're sad that they don't remind you of biting? well...i'll see what i can do to find one more fitting then. :D
(i still think that one's the most suited. bucktooth just looks...dumb.) :P
Of all the emotes, of all the talent creating emotes, there really oughta be one for biting somewhere. ;) (Totally dumb/silly/dorky -looking, yeah. :B)
