Hi!

[ize]

Name: Mari
Age: 19
Location: A big country in South America.
About Me: Writer; feminist; social justice; music, internet, post-it notes and research addict; mild-OCD when it comes to organization; moderate ADHD; major depressive disorder; bookworm; internet; curious; critical thinker; outspoken.
About My Journal: It is a mix of things I like, mostly.

Public entries are either about writing in general—no big details on my original stuff—; about my ideas; about things I've read or seen; about things that interest me, such as technology, music, books, trips, writing, and writing meta; about things I see around DreamWidth.

I have no intention to make it a log of my personal life—which is what my filtered and access-locked entries are for.

Things that are locked:

·   Original writing — discussion, outlines, planning, general whining.
·   My daily life — what I'm up to on a personal level.

If we add each other, you will have access to both sides of my access list only, locked entries. If you don't want to read about my daily life, let me know and I can set up a writing-only filter.

What I Write: Romance. And poetry.
But I am open and willing to try anything at least once.
What I Don't Write: Nonfiction. I'm open to try just about any genre, as long as it is fiction.
What I Read: Everything. I'm especially fond of nice new adult—as in, university setting, etc—novels, fantasy series, historic books, and romance, be it young adult or adult-only. And fan fiction, I read some of it sometimes!
What I Don't Read: Um, there is nothing I wouldn't give at least a try, I guess.
Could I Edit Someone Else's Work: As English isn't my native language, I might not be comfortable being the sole editor for a writer's work in the grammar and spelling front, but I could definitely edit by myself if you want me to focus on characterization, pace, themes, tone, plot, and anything else in the same group.

I am mostly looking for writers to populate my circle, I feel lonely on my corner of the internet. :(

I'd like to have some active folks around, to comment on my entries, to help me in writerly matters, to chat about ideas, plots, characters. I'm looking for people who can relate to my writerly ways, who could maybe do some hand-holding. I would, of course, do the same—I'm online everyday, I try my best to comment at least in every other entry, I love discussing writing-related matters and am always, always up for a chat.

If I sound like someone you would like to have around, drop me a comment!

I have an obsession with office supplies myself haha. I have so many different packages of post it notes, it's not even funny XD

I read a lot of the same books as you, though I haven't tried out new adult yet, but I want to. I'd like to friend you if that's okay? Feel free to check out my profile.

Office supplies ♥ The best time of the year is the back to school sales, I spend so much on those! And post-its! It's an addiction, really.

Oh, you should! It's great. I mean, it's easier to relate to! And sure, absolutely. You have access and I subscribed!

Also, I think I've seen you around in ficdaily? Maybe? Possibly? (I am super bad with usernames, ugh.)

[leia_solo]

Yup I'm there. I usually vote in the polls, more than anything else XD.

Hey, we seem to have a lot in common, friends?

I'm Lou, 20, from England; I like writing (don't we all?) and reading about the process people go through when they write. I could probably sit and talk for hours with you about writing meta. I also have OCD (among other mental health issues, bahh ._.)

I'm moving over gradually from lj (@curiosing) and woud love it if we could be friends? :}

Hi, and sure! I'm subscribing and granting you access. :)

Moving over from LJ can be sort of weird in the first stages, so if you need any help, let me know! There's lots of guides on the differences between there and Dreamwidth, and lots of community rec-a-thons, so I can throw some links your way, if needed! Also, welcome aboard!

[cirque]

Cool, I'll add you back :D

I know, it's pretty tough, but I'm getting the hang of it :) most of my friends are still on lj though.

Yes please, feel free to link me to some of your fave comms, I'm definitely interested :)
