Greetings. I updated my diary post first but realized I should probably also post here too. I've returned to the NTWF after a stint away. I'm Sunny. I'm Hzoo_26 on Neo. Known for my ixi, love of wordplay, and my writing about White River, Meridell. If you haven't checked out the town's homepage you totally should. I've been back on neo for about a year ish now and been doing a bit of NT writing since then. But I honestly have missed having folks to talk to about my writing as the only person I really speak to about it regularly is kathleen_kate (who some of you may recall wrote the amazing scarlet shadow series!). She's been my writing buddy since we were 13, and thankfully we have each other on FB and the 'cord now. Way faster than NM.
If you ever wanna find me, I'm often lurking the pound chat, don't hold it against me I promise I'm nice. Lol. You can also hit me up on the cord, I recall there was a group for this place but I must have misplaced the link somewhere. Oop. If anyone has it, and doesn't mind dropping me a line I'd love to be able to chat in real time. And as a last minute bit of nerdiniess, I'm attaching some pictures of my drafts from " A Light in White River", yes, I write my stories out by hand first, before I move it over to my computer. I know it's old fashioned of me but it works. ![A page of writing from my notebook](https://i.imgur.com/kYQ0QmM.jpg) ![Another page from my notebook](https://i.imgur.com/FEbfD8F.jpg) ![Yet another notebook page](https://i.imgur.com/eiNfmL7.jpg)

Hello Sunny! It's cool seeing your notebook pages! I always have a sketchbook around myself to write down my comic ideas and whatever else. Traditional WIPs for the win!

@june: I've found that it's one of the best ways for me to actually get writing done. For some reason my perfectionism strikes worst when I have to write digitally. If I write traditionally knowing I can "fix it later" that seems to fix my perfectionism issues. Ain't that a kick in the head?
I had a fellow neopian comment about how how "organized" I was to write stuff in notebooks and I had to regretfully tell her, no, it's not like you think. If you saw how many random notebooks I have around my tiny 1 bedroom apartment with writing blurbs in them you'd judge me so badly.

Hi Sunny, welcome back!
I barely use notebooks nowadays but I did when I was a teen and starting out writing for the NT and just fanfic in general. I still have those and while I don't like seeing my old writing style, it feels like something I should preserve for prosperity ahahaha.

Hi Sunny, welcome back! I barely use notebooks nowadays but I did when I was a teen and starting out writing for the NT and just fanfic in general. I still have those and while I don't like seeing my old writing style, it feels like something I should preserve for prosperity ahahaha. Will admit, I don't 100% like looking back at my first drafts, but it's nice to see how the story improved over time. I've gotten to where I can also write partially on my ipad in a notebook like "app" that kinda replicates that feeling of "ok I'm writing this down quick". Which is handy when I have to lighten my load and can't bring my normal go bag of art and writing supplies with me. What's more cringe to me though besides looking back at old writing is looking back at old art from when I was just learning about how to draw. I'm now a professional, teaching art for a living and I cringe so hard. Ha.

Welcome back, Sunny! I barely use notebooks nowadays but I did when I was a teen and starting out writing for the NT and just fanfic in general. I still have those and while I don't like seeing my old writing style, it feels like something I should preserve for prosperity ahahaha. I tore up all the notebooks containing my earliest writings, that's how ashamed I was of them >> To this day I thank the heavens that by the time my teenage self discovered the concept of publishing fanfiction online, my writing style had already matured to a passable degree.
