Hello, and a pleasure to meet you it is! The name is Claudia, though simply call me Alee.
I'm an aspiring authoress and animator and am dearly passionate about my interests and hobbies. I'm thirteen years old and home-schooled though please do not judge me for my age - age is but a number, is it not?
As for anime I don't really have a particular 'favorite' genre. I just watch whatever I'm really in the mood for. xD (Though currently I'm hooked on slice-of-life comedies.)
One of my favorite animes of all time would have to be Wolf's Rain. It was one of the first animes I ever watched that 'got me hooked' so it has a special place in my heart. Ah! And I love any Studio Ghibli film and any film by Makato Shinkai (one of my all-time favorite directors).
It's great to find a community where 'otaku-christians' can gather and forge friendships.
I look forward to talking with you all!
~Alee<3

Hey there!
Great to see another home-schooler. And I'm currently working on a novel, second draft. I love writing adventure, fantasy, 'Animal POV'...xD Any genre really. What about you? o:

Hey, mass congrats for getting past draft 1! That's hard.
Now for my standard writer question--are you a discovery writer, or an outliner?
And, since 'tis the season, are you thinking of doing NaNoWriMo?

I'm more of a Discovery Writer. I start with a simple idea and as I go on I find more ideas and plot-points until I have one big, messy first-draft. xD But by the end of the first-draft I know my plot and characters intimately and can begin the second draft with a full, structured plot in my mind. :p I can't plan 'on the spot' haha! And what about you?
Oh, sounds interesting! I should give it a go. o:
Haha, Nate! That must have been awkward! :p

Haha, cool! I too write fantasy, but my writing history is, er, confusing. I've been working on my current book series for over a year now, but I have been using the general idea for about five years now. Anyways, I have written three different versions of my book before settling on this one a year ago, haha. Anyways, it is a series and so far I have written the first book (which has been through several drafts:P) and am on page 224 of the second. I am also working on another series which is to be a trilogy. So, are you doing NaNoWriMo? It's will be my first year doing it, haha:D

Judging by your posts, you're a pretty good writer. I know of college students who can barely put together coherent sentences, so you're off to a great start.

I've done it a bunch of different ways. xD I used to outline a lot, but I did discovery-write once, and I think I'm somewhere in the middle now. I like having an idea of where I'll finish, but I'm completely okay with following the characters' whims on the way there. :>
So since you enjoy writing fantasy, are there any particular worldbuilding bits you like doing most?
