College student for now though in a bit of a transitory state. Which is why I'm going to try and get something written! Now before either grad school or a career consume my life entirely. I want to get myself published one day so if you read my work give me as harsh a critique as you can!
I write fantasy, always fantasy. Though some of them wax almost sci-fi depending on the setting since I put stories in the past, present, future, and any weird combination of the three that pops into my head! I am highly influenced by what I have always read as a child, fantasy stories ranging from C.S. Lewis and Harry Potter to Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones. I like exploring the philosophical issues of right and wrong and dipping my fingers into political intrigue in my work because that's just what interests me. I also am hugely influenced by manga and anime which can sometimes get in the way of me writing actual text stories. ^^; It's just a lot easier sometimes to see the scene as a comic than to put it to words!
The influence of this anime background I think is what has caused me to have a rather comedic flavor to whatever I write with some pretty hilarious and extreme characters. But I think part of that is also the life I've led and the people I've met since some of them are as crazy as any anime character and so knowing such people really do exist in real life I can't resist pulling them into my works. I like to think I take a realisic approach to fantasy in that way. I try to keep my characters real people who spazz, doubt, screw up, and face palm. And I hope that their antics entertain you as much as they do me!
