About time for a new bio. At least, a little new, I've always been terrible at these things. So bare with me, and if you just stumble upon my little page here, please don't use this bio against me in judging my writing talent.

For starters, I lack any semblance of art skill, but I've been told I can write well, so here I am.. Lesse here...I'm 26, and a fairly avid roleplayer, which in the end tends to influence my writing quite a bit. ...That and the friends I RP with bugging me to write, it's because of one of them I'm here. Been writing off and on for quite some years now, more off than on actually until I started the Elryn story you see below.  My Smallest of Gifts is a new addition, one I started only about a year or so ago.

My works here are still ongoing stories that have been, and will likely continue to be, updated regularly and past versions of them changed on occasion as I iron out the storyline and my writing style.  The folks here in the woods have been a great help to me!

I look forward to comments, and just honest feedback in general... Don't be afraid to nitpick about my work, be it grammar, story bits in general, or what have you. I can't fix something if I don't know it's broken after all. :) On the same note, it's hard to keep doing something right when I'm not positive I'm doing it right in the first place. Just be honest in what you say, be it as little or as much as you want to say, and I'll be content.

As stated above, Elryn is the primary story I'm working on. I've done some heavy reworking on it over the past few years, with the help of the various people that have commented here. =) (One of these days I will give you people the links you so vastly deserve.)
Erzivia, I'll admit, is one of the first stories I seriously wrote, short of character bios and little roleplaying bits at that time, and is countless year old now, it's age shows. One of these days I plan on continuing/rewriting it, because I still really enjoy the tale as a whole, but I honestly can't say when. Mostly I leave it up here as a reminder of how I've improved over the years.
The Smallest of Gifts is my newest one, a random little story which came to me out of the blue. Tis slow going, but I do plan on doing more on it. Tis a unique little universe, and I'm having quite a bit of fun with it's design.

Updates.
Submitted 9/15/2009 - Signs of LIFE

Okay, I didn't really intend for there to be this much time between updates. Lots has happened...work, got married, stuff like that. :P I've still been writing, albeit, rather slowly....I do have stuff to post though! ...Eventually...

I apologize greatly to all those who've been waiting for, well, bloody ages.

Perhaps better news to some, is that I've been working on some heavy editing of my earlier chapters of Elryn. I talked many moons ago about removing Eryk's first person parts, and eventually just making them 3rd person, instead...since they're easier to write that way. Well...I've finally started going just that. I plan to upload the first few modified chapters in the next couple of days. ...No, really, I mean it this time... ^^

I'm still terribly behind on my comments unfortunately...and even further behind on my reading, so hope all you folks who I've promised a read sooner or later can forgive me. ^

But, at least I'm still here, yay!

Date Name Comment   10 Dec 2005 Gorgie Loading... I found it again ^_^ but nothing new you slacker... get to work war is going fine now go hit the pen and paper. 15 Jan 2006 Courtney M. Pulnik Loading... Well, looks like we're both slackers. Get some more work up here, and I'll do the same! 9 Dec 2006 Frances Monro Loading... Woof Woof! Moo! 7 Feb 2007 Frances Monro Loading... Hey Brian, good to hear from you again. 22 Jul 2007 Marloes Loading... hi Tay, it's time you add some more to your stories. You just can't leave the stories like this and keep us wondering if there will be a happy ending. If you don't post a new chapter soon, I'll just have to try to contact you more often and keep poking you to make sure you hurry with your writing. Brian D. Saul replies: "Hmm...it has been a while, hasn't it? Writers blocks kinda gotten me down bad as of late... I don't have much of Elryn done after all this time unfortunately, I have about half a chapter of both her half and Eryk's half...it's just not enough to warrant posting. I do however have about two chapter of my Smallest of Gifts I need to get around to posting... ...And yes, you need to poke more often, I don't see you around nearly enough. " 2 Oct 2007 Frances Monro Loading... Brian, why don't you start an email list or something and send out your draft material for comment and proofreading, pre-moderation? Maybe your friends can help you overcome your block. Brian D. Saul replies: "Do I smell a volunteer? Actually I do have a friend or so look over my stuff before I post, it's just been a while since I've actually gotten anything worthwhile down. =\ ...which reminds me I've still got a glossary and at least one chapter of my Smallest of Gifts to post. Elryns story is, sadly, still giving me an annoying amount of trouble. Not nearly as much so lately now that things have calmed down a bit life wise and I've actually been able to work on it more, but still... Anyways...Tis good to hear from ya! " 2 Jun 2008 Hexedian Loading... You! Lazy! Slacker! Write something! People are waiting! NOW! 30 Sep 2008 Gorgie Loading... i think it needs to be posted o.o 14 Oct 2008 Courtney M. Pulnik Loading... *nose* Tay!!! miss you!! 7 Jun 2009 Hexedian Loading... I wonder, is the Tay still alive? Am I supposed to give up on hearing the end of the stories? Because that’s not likely to happen =P Brian D. Saul replies: "Why yes, the Tay is still alive and kicking, whoo! And don’t give up hope yet...I ’am’ still, albeit slowly, working on things... ^^" Page: [1] 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11
