I've already started posting around various parts of the site, but I'm a habitual completionist. And I saw that little box at the bottom of the page that shows progress - so naturally here I am. Pardon the length, I plan on sticking this in my signature so folks can refer back to this to learn more about me.
Hi I'm Serene!
When I objectively take a step back, roleplay writing and writing in general have been an active part of my life for the last 15 years or so. In my grade school days, I sucked at formulaic writing that was necessary to get good grades. So I believed in the deepest parts of my heart that I was terrible at writing because others told me I was.
As I got older, I realized that having an active imagination and passion for out of the box ideas made me a good writer. Both in a creative sense and even in an academic sense.
Roleplay writing in my teen years was critical to helping me make this conclusion. I enjoyed flexing my imagination and collaborating with others. Collaboration and being inclusive of ideas has always been a strong suit of mine so I naturally gravitated towards this hobby.
Over the years I've written in many forums and sites. The passion for writing ebbs and flows, but it never completely dies out. I'm a naturally moody person, even if I hide it well. The depression, anxiety, and internal anger all need a place to go eventually. Writing has always been that creative release for me that makes my days just that bit better.
In real life I'm actively involved in writing and reading groups. I have a passion for editing and helping others bring their own visions to life that pops out at times.
Like Otys, I am effectively faceless. Yes, I have a clear preference for slice of life characters and my usual slew of female characters I can relate to. But I have dabbled in almost every setting and scenario possible - from the most extreme and fantastical to the most normal. And written a multitude of characters with a variety of genders. At this point in my life, I'm usually less adventurous by choice, but occasionally I might crave something a bit out of the realm of ordinary.
Anywho, to conclude - this site is dope. I didn't expect this, but it is a huge positive that writing is posted in a more public setting. Being here has encouraged me to write more and I am grateful for that.
Cheers!
