I've been working on several stories, because, well, in addition to writing a book being one of my requirements, I love it. Perhaps it is because is because of the highly Gothic music I've been listening to whilst generating characters and plots, but lately they seen quite angsty. Most of my writing tends towards the fantastical, probably because I like swords and magic and so forth. When I write a story, I usually sit down and craft the characters first, and the plot second. I find this method makes my characters more organic and believable, and the plot my continuous and fluid. If there is anything I can't stand in stories, it is lack of verisimilitude, so I do all I can to make mine believable.
Fiction and poetry are my two favorite mediums, while I'm not a big fan of most prose. I could mix the two and write my stories in verse; however, as charming an idea as that is, it would remind me of Shakespeare. It's a shame really, how much I dislike Shakespeare; he was a fairly good author, but alas poor Yorik, he's been much overdone in schools. Well, I suppose I'll be getting back to writing.
