Crowdfunded Writer

Name: Kayleigh

Age: 24

Location: England, on the South Coast

About Me: I'm a crowdfunded writer, attempting to make a living doing wht I love; I live with my boyfriend of seven years in a room that we've been renting for just over six months; I'm a pagan; and I make friends much better online that I do in real life, because I'm a hundred times better at writing than I am at speaking.

About My Journal: my writing journal is kajones_writing, which is where I mirror all the fiction I post at my website. There I post original fiction and the occasional piece of fanfiction, although that's normally fanfic set in another crowdfunded writer's original world. I love worldbuilding, so I also have a wiki for everything I currently have written about my worlds and a lot of empty pages.

What I Write: fantasy mostly, although I'll try my hand at pretty much anything

What I Don't Write: non-fiction, but I would love to at some point, and hard sci-fi, because I have a creative brain rather than a logical one

What I Read: fantasy, historical fiction, and pretty much anything if something about the story really interests me. One of the things I hate is sex for the sake of sex when I'm reading a fantasy or urban fantasy story, although I do like a gd bit of erotica.

What I Don't Read: I don't know. I'll try pretty much anything. It's mostly stories I don't like, rather than genres.

Could I Edit Someone Else's Work: I could, although I'm better at typos and grammar than I am at storyline stuff.

A crowdfunded writer? How does that work? (cause that sounds like a really nice job, if a difficult one...)

Your stuff is very well organized! And that wiki is pretty nifty :)

Every crowdfunder works a little differently, but in it's simplest form it's a way of paying a writer to write more of what you like. I'm experimental, so I like trying different things, and one of my crowdfunding friends gets poetry she writes based on prompts from her readers sponsored. You're right about it not being easy, but it is fun.

Thank you. I try to keep everything organised, even though it isn't the most interesting part of what I do. Yeah, I like the wiki too, because it's another good way of keeping everything organised. :)
