Hi There, I am looking to start a creative writing group/role play and would like to have some developed biographies to start. They will need to be between 200-500 words each and will be written by you, we will give no ideas or plot lines. If we are happy with your work we will be looking at 10 of these to start, and will probably have ongoing work. You need to have impeccable english and great creative flair. Please bid with your hourly rate, how long you think one will take you to write and also a sample of your english. This is an example of what we would be after: Born in England, Griffith West had a pretty easy time growing up. The son of an accountant and his wife, he was close to both of his parents and always felt loved and cared for. A head strong child with a heart of gold, Griffith figured out his direction in life pretty young. He wanted to be a doctor, to be able to help the sick and save lives. His parents supported it, though assumed he would change his mind several times. However, as he grew older the dream only got stronger and Griffith showed how serious he was about it as he set out to make it come true. Working hard at school to get good marks, taking first aid courses on the weekends and volunteering for many different groups on the weekend. Though he was strongly focused on the dream he had his next door neighbor, turned best friend, turned girlfriend to remind him there was more to life then keeping his head in the books and helping out other people. A fun loving girl with an adventurous spirit, Lia had a real love of life and lived for the moment. Often dragging Griffith out of his room to make sure he had a social life and he’d get her to do enough work to make sure she would graduate even though she had no plans to do further study. Things seemed to be going well with both surviving their A level exams and looking forward to the next stage of their lives. However, driving home from a celebration their car was hit by a drunk driver. The crash wasn’t minor and as the passenger Griffith managed to escape with minor injuries, but Lia was in a worse state. In a critical condition, Griffith tried to assist her, but despite his best efforts she passed away before the ambulance arrived. After the accident Griffith was on auto pilot, functioning automatically, but not allowing himself to feel or acknowledge the loss as graduation came and went and he was accepted into his dream school. However, the dream was no longer a dream anymore. All the courses and knowledge he had gained hadn’t done anything. Medicine couldn’t save the one person that he needed to and he didn’t want to waste his time with it anymore. Declining the offer he instead decided to go backpacking around the world, something Lia had planned to do. She had often spoken about experiencing life in different ways, seeing how the locals lived, having no plan, just going with the flow. It was her dream and now Griffith was making it his. Now 20, Griffith has found his way to the town. Though he had plans to move on months ago, the place has charmed him and given him somewhere he can call home again. A lot less serious than he used to be, Griffith really tries to get the most out of life and has recently embraced his forgotten love of music, often playing his guitar around the Island. Very sociable he is friendly to most, but hasn’t let himself get too close to anyone.

Hi caseyeyes I am an English speaking lady with over 25 years experience in the business world. I am taking some time out to write and have been doing projects on Freelancer. I would love to write these character biographies for you. My bid is for $8 per each description. Regards Gail PS - trying to paste one in but no space! Born in the UK to a single mother who was very young, Janice was always a quiet and shy girl. Her Mom was a nervous wreck, highly strung and irritable and this seemed to rub off on Janice and keep her in check so that she didn't stir up any drama at home. It was easier to be out of site and out of mind. Janice was an only child and kept herself busy with games involving invented friends and pets. She had a whole imaginary farm of dogs, cats, horses and other animals. Her social life was minimal and as she got older this became a problem She was seen to be aloof and unfriendly. She spent hours talking to her imaginary pets, caring for them and giving them names. When Janice was sixteen her Mother acquired a boyfriend, Mark, and the home situation changed. Suddenly there was a male person around and her mother became a different person. Janice was at odds with the situation and found that the attention Mark was giving her seemed to be unusual and made her feel very uncomfortable. She had no one to discuss this with, so she packed up her bags, left a note and took a train to Scotland. Totally naive and unprepared for life, she ended up at the YMCA

I am a freelance writer of both fiction and non-fiction, with over forty short stories published in various magazines, websites and anthologies. My works have appeared in venues such as Wily Writers, Redstone SF and Ann Vandermeer's Steampunk anthologies. One of my short stories was nominated for a Pushcart Prize for short fiction. I have experience writing character briefs not only for my own fiction but from running roleplay events. I have run events for groups of between half a dozen and over a hundred people, including developing backgrounds and writing character briefs. I understand how to work both internal and external conflict into a character's background, and how to ensure that, where appropriate, they have reasons to interact with others as part of their brief. My spelling and punctuation are extremely accurate. During my previous job I not only created documents going out to tens of thousands of doctors, but also proof-read others' writing for corporate documents and the organisation's website. I have extensive experience working to tight deadlines on projects, having done so for several years as a project manager, and can reliably provide the character profiles to a timescale that suits you. I hope that you will consider my bid, and look forward to hearing from you.

I think I can write two biographies of 200 words each, per hour (or one of 400 words). SAMPLE Maria was a really anxious and tensed girl, even since the day of her birth; she was crying out loud, she looked to be afraid of almost everything, and as she was growing up, she was becoming more and more stressed out. In the age of 10, she had been operating from the bothersome belief, that if she studied hard, she would be a famous doctor one day. It was obvious now, that she wanted to learn how to cure herself. She was trying to become a better student, and as a result, she have been blaming herself each time she didn't have a perfect performance on her exams. When she was 15, she developed a painful stomach condition, which was stress related. The same time, music came in her life; as she had to spend time in hospital, she was listening to her mp3 player, that her dad had given to her. Music provided her with "space", in which she felt to relax. Music in itself, was her healing. Now every time she started to feel stressed, she was listening to her favorite melodies: "Four Seasons" of Vivaldi, and "Nutcracker Suite" of Tchaikovsky. Maria grew up, and became a music composer. She now shares her music compositions, and peaceful melodies, with all of us….

Hi, I am Josefina, BS in Communications and Bilingual. I am very interested in this creative project. Please see below a sample of my writing. It is not as straightforward as the bio on your project description but I think it will still give you a good idea of how I write. (I can send you the second half on a message if you like). Thanks for considering my aplication. I will be looking forward for your answer! Camille is a very responsible young adult. Always on time, always perfectly well dressed for the occasion. Her dyed blond hair isn´t as shiny as it used to be when she was 18, but she does her best to make it still look good. She will never ever let a rebel white hair embarrass her in front of her husband, relatives or friends. Her parents are very proud of her, with her top her class Ivy League graduation and her top of the pyramid job, they sure can brag about her. Somehow Camille doesn´t feel it that way. Lilli, her pretentious operating room fan mother, always taught her the wise lesson that appearances are actually real, that our shallow society values people for what they show, ”so choose your pictures carefully”. That is the way Camille chose her husband, from a very traditional family he gave her the fancy last name she was lacking of.
