How to Write Good Haiku

Carrie Eckles posted an article on - Nov 2, 2009, 2:56 am

Cogito's First Discussion Post: Fan Fiction (Yay or Nay)

Carrie Eckles Sep 27, 2009, 5:48 pm
I love your perspective on the fanfiction thing. There's a subgenre of fan fiction called "fanart". It's particularly popular with Harry Potter fans; the term is applied rather loosely to any media (but I've seen some wonderful Harry Potter fan art for sure.)

About Me

I'm a writer who's very passionate about my craft and I'm currently working on a modern fantasy series. One of my biggest goals as a writer is to share with others what I've learned and to continue to hone my own skills in the process.

My other passions are genealogy and history. The past is very much alive; the dead have a voice inside all of us. I realize that previous sentence may sound a bit creepy, but I'm sure you get my meaning.

I've been writing and tracing my genealogy for half my life; at twenty years of age, that's a big deal, but I'm happy I found to have found my calling early on.

I enjoy connecting with people who share my interest, so please: drop me a line! I'd love to hear what you have to say.
