Writing is easy. All you do is stare at a blank sheet of paper until drops of blood form on your forehead.

– Gene Fowler


Writing

Writing has always been one of my favorite pastimes. Poetry, short stories, even fanfic—I’ll try my hand at pretty much anything. My “in progress” folder is always full of almost-finished poems, quickly-scribbled ideas for short stories, and detailed outlines for epic novels that will be finished and published in twenty years or so. (Or, if those novels turn out too good, they might not be published—I might want to save them all for myself.) For now, I’m content to simply scribble a few lines every day, observe as much of the world as I can, and try not to spread myself too thin by writing too many stories at once. I’m nowhere near as good as I want to be, but I like to think that every finished piece moves me one step closer to being a good writer.

Prose
Essays, stories, and vignettes.

Poems
Verse (and worse).

Fan Fiction
Derivative scribblings.

Miscellany
Uncategorizable tidbits.



A snapshot of me (Romy)

Hi. I’m Romy. without-feathers.com is my personal site, where I blog and review things and make lists and write bad poetry and do whatever other silly things come to mind. If this sounds like fun to you, it’s probably time to take your meds. But first, stick around and surf my site a little.

I hope you have as much fun exploring this site as I have making it. :)
