Crystal Dale

I've been a striving novelist since the age of eight where I used to write my 50-100 page mystery and fantasy stories that, thank heavens, have never actually lived to see the light of day.

I love writing about longer works. Most of my novel manuscripts average 600-700 pages. My passion is to write about fantasy or psychological stories. I also enjoy historical works and strive for as much historical accuracy as the story both demands and permits. For that reason, I've often been known to do more "researching" than actual writing, such as saber fencing, talking to sailors, reading up middle English slanders for woman, and all that good stuff =D

Please be bluntly honest when critiquing my work. I'm here to practice, learn, and improve after all.

I'm completely brain-dead when it comes to commenting in poetry, though, so I apologize in advance if you do not hear a comment from me. Please don't be offended; I just have yet to get past the point where I can say "ooooh pretty language".
