the tale is the map that is the territory. you must remember this.
Name: Jacey.
About me: Activist, particularly for animals. Aspiring professional author and astrologer. Bookslut, obviously. Future Londoner if it kills me (I fully intend to hop the pond and permanently relocate myself from the States). Open-minded. Owned by a stupid cat who six+ years later still isn't quite sure of his own name, a frighteningly smart cat obsessed with cornflakes, and a cat who thinks she is a dragon. Pansexual. Rapunzel-in-training, aka a longhair. Sparkly. Vegetarian.
About my journal: Still just getting started! I've been on LJ off and on for years, but this one is still new. :) Expect a lot of writing and assorted shenanigans; my life has a tendency to be a cesspool of lunacy, and I try to faithfully chronicle all the nonsense that it spews. Also, cats. ♥
What I write: Everything, at least once, if only to say I have. Magical realism might just have the biggest piece of my heart, however, alongside prosetry and rehashings of folk-and-fairy-tales.
What I don't write: Anything not character-driven. As I said, I'll try anything at least once, but there has to be a fleshed-out character to make me care about it first.
How did I get into writing: There wasn't really any 'getting into'; I've just always done. I've been writing -- or at least, attempting to dictate poetry, since I couldn't physically write at the time -- from age two. And at some point, it occurred to tiny little me that all of those books I clung to had to come from somewhere, had to come from someone, and that was just that. :)
What I read: Again, pretty much everything! But favourites things include Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Black Beauty, Bradbury, Byatt, fairytales, folklore, Gaiman, Good Omens, Harry Potter, Holly Lisle, Liesl & Po, Lisey's Story, Lord of the Rings, Sherlock Holmes, Stephen King, The Dark Tower series, The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making, The Godfather, The God in Flight, The Little Prince, The Night Circus, Wilde, Will Lavender, Wodehouse, and Woolf.
What I don't read: Again, anything not character-driven, or with characters I just can't stand or care about. Unless it's so bad it's hilarious, in which case I will read it to laugh.
Could I edit someone else's work? Absolutely! I love editing, whether it's line-edits or helping to iron out plots or even just being a test-reader.
What I'm looking for: I love 99.9% of everyone, so long as they're not judgmental and can spell. ;P That said, chances are I'll love you, too! Whether you're looking for writing-buddies or proof-readers or cheerleaders or new friends in general (or any combination thereof!), I'm sure we'll get on. ♥
