lin·gua·phile |
Graduate student specializing in 18th century British literature with an emphasis on the novel. Lover of John Milton, Jane Austen, and Charlotte Bronte. (Yes, I know none of them published in the 18th century.) Occasional writer of lengthy fictions, seven-time NaNoWriMo participant and former Office of Letters and Light intern. Reader of much young adult and/or fantasy lit. Lifetime lover of Diane Duane's Young Wizards series, recently fanatic about Scott Westerfeld's Leviathan trilogy, blaming it all on Harry Potter. Wanderluster. Left my heart in London, reclaim it bit by bit through tea and Doctor Who and Sherlock and Downton Abbey. |

Notes
classyhats replied to your post: Some of my younger self’s ideas are totally…These sound really cool. I’d totally read them.
THIS WAS MY RESPONSE! I was totally expecting them to be terrible but they are actually still fairly compelling, much to my surprise! I feel like “The Unwilling Wizard” could turn into a really great YA/middle-grade novel, and “The Rules of War” would probably do very well in a post-Hunger Games market… Granted, they’re not exactly the kinds of things my whole heart is devoted to writing anymore — I’ve got one novel-in-progress and for now that is enough! — but it’s nice not to have to be totally embarrassed by my earlier work.
