ray's writing profile for fun

Hello! Thanks for stopping by. I am currently most interested in creative writing of all mediums including screenplay, video game script, novel, and short story. My writing usually falls into the line of literary fiction or surrealism/magical realism. I'm working on building my writing portfolio so that I can apply to creative writing jobs.

I would really like a group that is consistently communicating and maybe having online workshops. I'm mostly a person that likes online groups as well since it tends to be more convenient to communicate. 

If you'd like to chat about working on portfolios or our next projects, please let me know!

I am new to creative writing, however, I am working on my BA in English and dove into a creative writing class. I have fallen in love with this craft. It makes sense to me because I also love to read in my free time.

I have recently submitted a piece of flash fiction to the literary journal at my college and my work was accepted and will be published this spring! I am incredibly excited as it is the first time I have ever submitted work.

What I am looking for in a group is to work with like-minded individuals who enjoy reading and writing. My hope is to get my work critiqued or workshopped. My immediate family and friends at work like to read my work, but I am afraid they could be biased because, well, we are family and friends. I am hoping for brutally honest and encouraging feedback.

Like many writers, I've been composing stories most of my life.  I have been fortunate, in recent years, to see publication of some short works.  My interests in both writing and reading are diverse, but I gravitate toward work that makes me feel something.

Although short stories are where I have experienced some form of success, I am a fan of longer works and have novel length work I'm editing and preparing to market.

I just started writing recently, and I haven't had much experience. I love to write short stories, most of mine are about characters that were based on me and some of my past.

Leslie in the Mountains

I've been writing for years, mostly literary fiction but my most recent project grew from a set of offworld speculative shorts into a connected universe.  I have been in AWA group practice, other gentle group practice, more critical group practice, taken quite a few classes in the C. S. Writing at Stanford, and helped found San Francisco's Portuguese Artists Colony where I gave regular performances/readings for several years.  I'm a good editor.  I'm looking for community to share the excitement of our projects and keep the momentum up.

Wistful Polliwog

I am newer to writing, having spent most of my 20's in academia. I am a sucker for fantasy and romance and hope to create my own stories someday. I'm looking to connect with other writers to learn about their process, make new friends, and build up momentum to continue writing.
