vlalekathide bio
Author has written 19 stories for Elder Scroll series, and Fallout. I'm a part-time creative writing teacher and, unlike characters on your favorite reality show, I am here to make friends, so don't be shy! I love feedback. I want to know what you think works and what doesn't. I have no patience for nitpicking just to tear people down, though. Favorite writers include: Margaret Atwood, George RR Martin, William Goldman (Boys and Girls Together is my jam), Jeffrey Eugenides, Michel Faber, and Emma Donoghue. I've tried to like Tolkein but just can't. I've never been able to get into Jane Austen or any of the assorted Brontes. Some days, I am a grown up. Others, I think I am an overgrown toddler. |
