An Introduction :)

[diane-b-taylor.livejournal.com]

It's 5:30 my time, so good evening. :) My name is "Diane B. Taylor" (that is my psuedonym) and I'm a non-fiction and fiction wanna-be-published author. I've been writing since I was seven years old but I didn't consider writing/editing as a possible career path until I was twenty. I began writing and editing other people's works seriously while I was a freshman in college and graduated in 2009 with a BA in English. In the summer and fall of that same year, I served two internships with two different electronic book publishing companies. I am currently a writing tutor in the university that I graduated from and I plan to go back this fall for my MS in English. :)

My hobbies include finding new alcoholic drinks (I'm stuck on cider, though), finding excellent food, playing Legend of Zelda and Final Fantasy, blogging and reading blogs, reading manga and watching a little bit of anime, and discovering new music through Pandora. ;)

I look forward to meeting you all and I hope you'll enjoy my writings as I do my best to post them as they come.

Thank you for the welcome! Zelda and Final Fantasy are pretty awesome, apart and together. :D

High fantasy is what I've been sticking to lately, though I'll read any kind of fiction genre. I'm in the process of writing a Harlequin romance novel though. XP It's just for the money.

What types of fiction do you enjoy writing for?

I love both. Most versions of both. Also World of Warcraft, though it's online and not a console game. Have you played Final Fantasy XIII?

Romance is quite different from high fantasy. What do you think of the experience? Is it difficult shifting gears like that?

I write science fiction and urban fantasy, for the most part.
