StoryMash Creative Storytelling Forum

I'm Derek R. Baker, AKA Houlgrave; 19-year old genius, and the among the most lazy, insipid, inactive and talented writers currently here on StoryMash.

/hubris off

Well, returning to the State of Serious now, I'll talk a little about what I'm doing; currently writing a couple of sword-and-sorceryish short stories called The Sequences of Human Hunter Demnok (or The Details of our Ending cycle), and an odd novel of sorts called "Dmitry's Thanatour"- a work that is my shot at a dark fiction, genre-bridging epic. Good stuff; the problem is sitting down and writing more than 100+ words a day. XD

Hope to be getting published within the next three years here, though I know its a difficult process. Plus the manuscripts themselves need to be finished....

Anyway, I love this site and I'm glad to meet all of you. :)

PS: CURRENTLY LOOKING FOR AN EDITOR

What kind of editor?

Wouldn'ta guessed you're 19, by the way. Spring chicken.

I don't know what help I'd be as an official editor, but I'd love to read them and I'll give you any help I can.
Nice to meet you by the way. Always helpful to have a genius on the site;)

Hey! Cool! We needed a 19 year old genius! I'm the 49 and almost 50 year old genius. I think we have most of the ages covered by now. ;o)

Welcome!

I wish you well on your endeavors. It was very cool working with you man.

OS - I'll be your backup, since I'm a 45-year-old genius. But I am the High Priestess of Limericks. (Don't know why, just thought I'd throw that in.)

Okay. But I hope I never leave a vacant spot!! I was wondering about the gender (needlessly) but I think this post may have a clue... I'll study it at length and see if I can't discover the answer. It's tricky. Even for a genius! ;o)

You know, Sim, I get that a lot. I guess my 'voice' sounds a bit masculine to a lot of people, which can be highly amusing, let me tell you. Think a tall red-headed Mae West type.

Well, then I don't mind mentioning Andre Alice Norton, as well as Asimov. Guys can't handle that comparing them to females thing.

'Starman's Son' was my first Andre Norton novel.

Hehe, definitely a tad masculine. Except you write too much...

Hehe.

When I mean editor, I just mean someone to look over my writing and point out discrepencies, issues with tense, ect.

Nice to see so many eager beavers who want to help....XD

Someone thinks highly of themselves :9 Yes, it is a little face smiling with it's tongue sticking out!
