Bio

Oh hi. Thanks for visiting. I'm new to fanfics and only recently adopted this nom de plume, but you can message me on tumblr if it pleases you. Same url.

I write more than I read, which has left my prose pretty amateurish and unrefined. So I'm looking for feedback if you've got it. Here are some things I'm concerned about these days:

- Overly sparse descriptions of scenery (I have trouble visualizing details)
- Too much internal dialogue
- Overuse of character names instead of pronouns or epithets ("Star devoured the burrito in seconds" vs "the ravenous former princess devoured the burrito in seconds")
- Revealing too much of my characters' emotional states directly through telling, rather than showing in more subtle ways through their actions
- My own voice and mannerisms tend to take over my characters' personalities, which leads to everyone sounding the same and using the wrong words for their personal lexicon

If you notice any of this, please let me know. It's easy to overlook these bad habits when I'm editing, but they are generally pretty easy to fix.

Much love,
-AR
