A Court of Flowers

DavidTheAthenai
UPDATING

I could speak for hours about my rotten luck, about how many times I've been close to death. But luck is relative and some would say I am, in fact, extremely lucky. I would have disrespectfully disagreed. That was before I met fair Miss Delacour though; well even for a bit after I met her if I am honest. Follow me trough a year of adventure and discovery, in more than one way.

Reason for Writing

I started writing because I wanted to read a story that did not exist, so you could say I write to create something for myself, for my enjoyment and that of those who were looking for a similar story. I suppose for a creative outlet is an accurate answer too, but mostly for fun

Desire for Readers

I can say that I would feel like my job is done if they have a good time with the story, if they read my words and they tickle their brain like so many other pieces of beautiful prose and clever lines have tickled mine before, and maybe that they are inspired to write by me as I was by those who came before (for me). There are personal experiences, be it mine or from loved ones written into the characters too, and maybe those second hand experiences can spark something withing someone who needs it too. If anyone would find such depth on my works as to help them on their life I think that would be the ultimate prize for me, though it's not something I'm deliberately writing for
