I am... highly new to this 'Visual Novel making'. Never before have I attempted to make my own, and I only just found out about this area maybe a month ago. In that month, I have been scouring the site for free games to check out what Visual Novels are all about. In truth, they seem very cool and almost like a cross between a comic and a "Choose Your Own Adventure" story, which I enjoy.

You see though, as much as I do enjoy drawing in my free time, I am not all too amazing at it. If anything I am a writer (a starving author that is haha).

As far as my qualifications as an artist of words, I have been writing short and full novels, and other pieces for around eight years; since I was in the second-third grade. Though starting off weak, I have grown as a writer throughout the years, starting and finishing many different stories for my pleasure, and the pleasure of those around me. Currently, I have begun writing for a newspaper that is sent out to my town and the surrounding ones, and I am also part of a creative writing "club", where we take the best written pieces sent in by ourselves and others, and make a book out of them all.

I don't want any money if you want me to write for you, even if I did have a way to recieve it. Writing is my passion, and it would be wrong to ask for money for something I love.

Here is an excerpt from a story that I have been pondering: http://kaylatheninja.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d4cnnor

The story type I enjoy to write the most are heterosexual, romance stories, told in either the point of view of a female or a male (though more comfortable writing in the point of view of a female for obvious reasons. I will write male point of views though as well).

Just note: I do not know how the billions of software and programs you all use work. Further, I barely know the simplest of codings. If anything, all I can really help with is writing the storyline, editting it, and all that. If you use the Renpy software, I have a vague idea how it all works. However, all I can guarentee you is a well-thought out storyline with minimal grammar and spelling errors. Also note, I AM still a student and am busy with my own work so I may not be the fastest worker. But I will try.

ALSO: I only do projects that will be put out on the internet as FREE, since I am agreeing to write for free. In the future, I would love to partner with people to make games for money, but right now I cannot. If I find out that a story I wrote for is being used for profit, I will not be happy and I will take action for taking advantage of me writing your visual novel. Gracias :)

You might consider posting a link to something you've written.

Poorly done hand drawn art is still poorly done art. Be a Poser (or better yet, use DAZ Studio 3D) - dare to be different.

To Death_HUG:

I just posted an excerpt of a story, and also added in what type of story/s I am most comfortable writing :) It would be an honor working with you, if you would like to.

To JustAnotherMe:

Always open, though the more projects I do the slower I may be. Depends on what it is you are looking for. If you would like to message me details on what it is you are looking for, I can give you an estimated time (unless you have a deadline..?) it will take me and all that :)
