| Hello ReNu. I have to say that I very much enjoyed writing essays in school. I took an AP Language and Compostion class and I learned so much about non fiction writing. Welcome! | |

ReNu - Welcome! So does "military fiction" mean no fantasy, paranormal, or sci-fi elements? Because if it does, you're my new best friend. I don't have anything against those other elements at all, but everybody else here seems to write in those genres, and I'm the odd one out. | |

| When you say "for a change" what do you mean? What did you write before, out of curiosity? | |

| Like my previous work, well, no fantasy, paranormal or sci-fi, but still an unrealistic/exaggerated type like what we often see in Japanese mangas. Well, admittedly, it continues to influence my writing. Example of my no-fantasy-paranormal-scifi work revolves around these fictional very influential clans, with these cool clique of deadly boys and gals as my main characters. Well, anyway, it's too complicated. | |

| Military fiction is great. I just started a new YA series in the same genere. It's kind of like Nancy Drew, if her father were a widdowed, functioning alchoholic ,GunnySgt. it's been nice to setp out of fantasy for a while and do something more real life. | |

| Hi Renu! I'm Ren! We should totally be friends, because then we could be Renu & Ren. (And for any math junkies out there, we could be Ren(u+1). If that doesn't make any sense, just roll with it. I'm a nerd.)
Welcome to the boards! Hope to see you around~

| Thank you everyone! (Wow, is Ren your real name? Renu means atomic in Latin, I think - people say it's a way of saying tiny, but I like to think it means powerful, and explosive and capable of destroying cities when split, lol)
I've never tried writing fantasy, sci-fi or paranormal, and I don't think I'll be any good at it. There was the one time I tried to write a fairytale for my nephew and I thought it sounded like one of those Enid Blyton stories your mom reads to you at age 4. I'll definitely stick with plain fiction - contemporary, military or historical. | |

Hmm, I thought it was just from doing the birthdate. Is there a thing somewhere to tick to show that? It just appeared on mine when I filled the birth date in. Does someone else want to throw us their wisdom? | |
