~Fiction reveals truths that reality obscures~

Thanks for checking me out. Greetings, this is the profile of  Shannon, a part time introvert, full time weirdo. Since joining Protagonize, I am aware I am on here way too much, but can't seem to stop.

I live in Bristol, England but spend most of my time in bed with my laptop writing and blogging. I'm 6ft tall and I'm a Pagan - and yes, I do call myself a witch on occassion because that's what I am. I don't worship Satan, I worship a goddess who loves and encourages me, and She also tells me to ignore haters, so I will.

Even though I've survived school whilst writing, the juggling has driven me to be just a bit insane, so beware.

I've become a more confident writer over the years, I want to be a published author more than life itself sometimes, and intend to send off manuscripts as a rite of passage on my 18th birthday. I will become rich and famous and live in a large mansion with my best friends, their husbands and our armies of strangely-named children.

My fictional lands, Maegard and Anamae have slowly consumed my life, I've been writing these books for three years, and have no regrets. Writing is the most rewarding and inspiring thing I've ever done, I wouldn't be the same without it, or at least I don't think I'd like the person I'd become.

Over and out.

My work:

The Element Adventures -

Willow Avaric is the lost prince of the Avaric bloodline - a family descended from an Earth god - whose memory was erased in his eighth year when his family were massacred one October night. For five years he has lived in the Outlawed East - a squalid prison spread across an entire county in the land of Anamae. His world, Maegard, was once prosperous with magick and mystical creatures, but now humanity has dominated their lands and threatens to extinguish them.   In the middle of the night, Percival and Anala Paradam travel to find him and bring him to the Sanctuary - a place where the remaining nine heirs to the royal thrones live in safety, awaiting their eighteenth name-days when they can claim back their thrones and restore Maegard to its original beauty.

My Flickr just contains maps and manga drawings I've done revolving around my book. There's a link if you're interested.

I'd really like some critique on my work.

I'm not saying I can handle it, because at times I will feel like you're taking my baby and throwing it out a window, but I have to learn to deal with it.

So please, be honest, I post work here because I can't find help from friends, so strangers and fellow writers are the next best thing.
