Welcome to my Home!
I will read anything that I can get for free, unless I have tried that author before and know I don't like them. That said, I admit that I favour sci-fi and fantasy, because I grew up on them. I'm still working on gaining experience with many genres. I should note that I read more childrens' literature than most grown-ups I know. I prefer the fluid authorial voices of British and classical authors.
I started writing when I was six. I'd loved reading while I was learning to read, so as soon as I learned that I could make books too, I decided to. Currently, I am a lazy novice writer (though a far better reader), but can still come out with work, especially short poetry. I like writing about my own experiences.
I'm friends with [
JKing] and [
Samael_22], and I'm in love with Ronin777. We are a couple of nuts.
Updates (see also
Kidda's Old Announcements)
July 11, 2008:
- I've been working on reading
Confabulation, which is an anthology of all the qualifying Wyn Lit 24 entries over its first year. I have over 100 stories to read by 34 authors. Currently, I'm on page 87 out of 301. Once I've read them all, I get to pick the three best and vote for them. The due date for my vote is August 15.
April 26, 2008:
- Now that I've moved my books and bookshelf to Clayton's new place, I will be slowing down my reading a bit. Maybe I'll do more of what I should be doing.
April 15, 2008:
- I must learn to delegate!
- I'm going to move in with Ronin777 on May first or so.
- In case you haven't noticed, I've given up on that essay thing. I didn't even start it.
January 7, 2008:
- Well, I've gone and stuck my name on the
ABC. It's time to write an essay. See
RR.Circle of Children, A
December 27, 2007:
- I'm back.
- Now that Christmas is over, my work routine is going to a little more sporadic and less demanding. I hope this means more Wynterblue and WritersCo and a cleaner room and more SNES and reading and writing. I am also worried enough about money that I might be dumb and find a second job. At least I don't XMas shop. Yarg.
What I Do Here
•I run the
Unlazy Poets contest, where we write poetry that isn't free verse. We don't hate free verse, but thought it would be nice to go
somewhere where that isn't 90% of what you see, so here we are.
•
I Rate.
•
BBC, the Backwards Book Chart Wiki, is a place to list all that you've read starting with the most recent, and going as far back as you can remember. It's meant to foster literary discussion. (see the
BBC of Kidda)
•I like writing reviews for
Recommended Reading.
•Have you ever posted poetry on WC that is not free verse? Anything with a format at all? Let the rest of us know we're not alone by signing the
Unlazy Poets List.
•Come to the Literature forum!
<joinforum:16:meeple> (Literature) This is where you talk about literature!
