Just another dilettante writer waiting for that one idea, one inspiring thought…

As of mid-December 2014, I am in the process of transferring most of my writings to WattPad. But you may find my current works at: http://figment.com/users/309406-J-J-Alim

I want to say I am focusing on high-fantasy (with Chronicles of Northlandia) but I tend to enter short-story and flash fiction contests from varied genres. I also write memoir-style stories when I get the chance.

I am a night owl. I work (the paying kind) at night and work on my writings late into the night. Except the latter doesn't feel like work. It seems more like a mission, something that I just need to do regardless of whether I get paid for it or not… but someday, it would be great to be accomplished and get published! Until then, I'm going to continue dreaming and working hard.
