Interests
Felt like now would be a good time to make a journal about my actual writing and where I started, how I got to this present point.
My adventures in writing began when I was a little girl, when I was around seven I saw the front cover of a horror film and was frightened by it, soon after I had a nightmare about a woman in a masquade  mask in my hallway. I was asked at school soon after to write a poem so probably recalling that dream I wrote a short story poem about a young boy trapped in a dungeon in his parents basement hiding from the spirits that lurked outside in his hallway and home. This poem got put up on the wall and impressed my teachers giving me  encouragement. For years I write nothing bar parodies and word play. I find myself in what would be every elses equivalent to middle school, in an English class and am exposed to the works of soldiers from the first world war writing about their experiences, around this time I'm also learning about the holocaust in history the images created and information I get from the two world wars shock me and I pen my own war poems to show my own feelings as its near this that America has declared war on terrorism and its all over the news. I wind up in Wales on a holiday, get stuck for nothing to do in the hotel remember this and beginning writing a poem about differing political world views in a comedic style.
Another teacher as well as a boy who interests me who wrote poetry along with his friend and an English teacher catch on a convince me to keep going. He disappears from the internet and I keep writing hoping one day I'll have something to show him  and remember his encouragement.  
My poems become more varied in theme when I start to get back into anime and manga and take on a weird tales (further influence by exposure to HP Lovecraft) feel, before this, still a teenager I find myself questioning who I am and theres an obsession with human psychology/behaviour/identity/sexuality that colours my work to this day.  
In my late teens I wrote to hope to catch the attention of other girls.
By the time I'm in my early to mid twenties I find myself writing on reflex and habitually as a natural instinct continually remembering being told that a writer will always be judged/worthy by their most recent work and expected to keep up the job and deliver, a phrase which motivates me hugely. Now everything inspires me and my short stories just happen.
I find myself thinking that what I write will remain after I am gone from this world and live on in my place, possibly as some immortalization or memory of me.
I write for whoever my audience will be or who will read, my ideas are random, I make up alot as I go along. No part of me feels an urge to publish or cash in on what I consider to be my art, I do this for the sake of pleasure not business.  
I began writing reviews through renewed interest in anime/manga and discovered I had a knack for it but I got fed up writing about those and they became stepping stones to writing about film.
Push comes to shove short stories in poetic dialogue/presentation will always make me feel the most alive while writing.
My favourite topics to write about are society, LGBT, weird abstract athmosphery stuff with twist endings and also stuff about the people I love or have loved.
Phew! That was long, I think I covered everythings though!

You seem a little shy all of a sudden my dear ^_^ And yes, its a good thing indeed. I'm still in awe at the sheer number of them. I really should get to writing down my thoughts as well, but alas, I'm lost in the toxic jungle that is my mind ;P

Thank you! I really really started writing 8 years ago though instead of every now and then before that so thats part of the explanation of why I've built up so much. As I've said to other people you could find yourself writing something of your own and hardly notice doing it, sometimes we all get a compulsion to create and before we know it we've gone and done it.
That last line "toxic jungle that is my mind" for me that could turn into a story/poem about being lost in thought.
One possible reason for being able to write so much could be down to a few things I heard in my youth such as "You'll be judged by your most recent work" and a combination of an idea an English and acting teacher gave me, the prior taught me that using three key words will allow me to recall everything about something, this gave me an idea to apply the latters idea/teachings that stories can be born from just three words.

have ye seen any of these?

Delicatessen (1991)

City of Lost Children (La Cité des enfants perdus 1995)

Dante 01

Micmacs (im still looking for this one)

all made by the same directors jean-pierre and Marc Caro , hmm you may be familiar with Amélie.
All of their movies have amazing story lines, excellent humour and beautiful set designs you may find dubbed versions but i recommend their original with English subs.

also here are some other great french movies

Angel-A (filmed in black n white for that classic Noir)

Man Bites Dog (about a film crew who follows a hitman in his day to day life of murder, racism, and dark humour.)

I have seen Amelie twice and greatly enjoyed it.
Not familiar with the others.
I have been watching Alfred Hitchcocks movies lately.
Man bites dog and city of the lost children sound interesting based on titles, the latter also due to your description.

As you've likely noticed I tend to update every day with at least one submission so I'd say thats a high possibility that you'll have plenty to read.
Thanks again, I'm glad you view them as stories as well as poems.
That most recent one was about people doing difficult job interviews.

Added you as a friend, greetings!

Also, saw you're from Dublin - I'm actually trying to learn "Irish" through some computer software.

So this may come off a bit odd if you understand it, but with my limited beginner's lessons, let's see how it goes.

"Dia duit, ta an fear Andrew ah ithe bhean gorum."

I know for a fact that
s gonna sound strange but I tried to say, 'This guy Andrew eats this girl up." I think it may have come off sounding like' Hello, the man Andrew eats woman blue.' you get my point though, lmao.

Clicked on random deviant and it sent me to you! Just passing by and flipping through other deviant's work, looking for inspiration. I write primarily non-melodramatic free verse poetry, something that I hope even people who aren't lit fanatics can enjoy. Just in case you're interested :)
