    Hey! I am Snowy! Plain and simple, right?

    Image
    Hm, you may call me Snow, Snowy, Snowball, etc. Whatever floats your boat!

    Image
    Well, of course, only if they want me to. I won't if they don't want anybody critiquing it.

    Image
    Nope, none yet!

    Image
    Hm...not really! Just that I adore animals and my family owns two animal businesses of our own! I am upsesseded with horses, want to own a ranch when I am older, act in some things, and definitely have writing as a side hobby!

Username: Viszla7
What we will call you: Feel free to call me Viz.
Will you critique other's work?: Of course! C: I love giving critique, and being generally helpful. I'm extremely nit-picky, though. My reviews will tend to be extremely lengthy.
You will also have to specify the 'harshness' of my critique, as well as the area(s) you would like me to be extra-picky in (unless you'd prefer general critique). xD
Links to your story if you have any: All my stuff on here is old and sucky -I prefer to write with pen and paper, and, thus, most of my works are crammed into the drawers of my desk (I swear, it's overflowing!). I'm thinking of getting some of my new works typed up, but I am a notorious procrastinator.
But, if you insist, here is a collection of my old stuff: Here.
Anything you want us to know?: Well, I have spurts of activity and inactivity -some days I'll be on for hours, and, then I'll disappear for a while. D:
I have a reputation as a 'Grammar Nazi', and I've been told that I write like someone at least twice my age. (I don't quite believe that, though.)
As well, I love to read -a lot. It's as essential to me as the air I breathe. xD My favourite authors are J.K Rowling, Phillip Pullman, Yann Martel, Stephen King, Catherine Fisher, Patrick Ness, Charles Dickens... *prattles on and on for the rest of the day*
Oh, that's another thing -I'm rather prone to rambling.

Does anyone have any tips for quickly coming up with a good plot/storyline?

Sometimes, when I am required to write a story in class, I come across the problem of writer's block which appears to display itself at any random moment {especially inconvenient ones...stupid writer's block}. I just cannot think of an idea, whatever I do, and it usually results in me almost tearing my hair out in frustration and in a very foul mood with my incapability to write ^^;
I know I should keep calm and think straight, but it's impossible for me when I get to such a point of frustration with my inability to write. I guess it's just the typical symptoms of writer's block...but does anyone have any tips?

Also, do you have any tips for writing under pressure? My stories are usually total garbage when I'm asked to write under pressure, it could relate to the situation above. Overall, I am not very good at working under pressure in all areas, which isn't necessarily a good trait to possess ^^;

Thank you for your help in advance,

Kat, Viz and Micky all accepted. Thanks for joining!
By the way, Micky if you have any work on CS you could just post one link? You don't have to of course, but so people can read your work if they wish too.

Nope, you don't!

It will be added to the front.

I find that when writing under pressure it is easiest to kind of just block out your surroundings mentally and focus only on the pen and paper and then just write. Thus you aren't in a pressuring environment anymore. Also, don't try and force yourself to write- even in those pressured moments. Give yourself the time you need and write when you feel like it and when you have a 'flow'. Just make sure you finish it in the time you have been given >.<

I've been appointed mini-mod by burn. I'm not just randomly accepting people without permission xD
