My brain really is an athlete.
As an avid writer of high concepts since 2010, I love a fancy fantasy that will surely tickle the fanny, especially if that fancy fantasy is set in the challenging era of the medieval world. With only my wit, pen and paper, and the cat patting at that pen as it strokes the page, I work tirelessly to achieve that one goal: to one day see my book in the hands of young readers where its lessons on morality can be put to good use. A former video editor in my high school years, I work closely with young video editors and writers, helping them find that unique voice in both the visual and written arts. Although my list of qualifications is of microscopic size, I still take pride in the fact that one day my work will challenge the way we view the world.
An in-depth look into my youthBack in '06 - '07, I was an excellent writer. I was able to create stories right off the top of my head and have a short synopsis within a matter of minutes. I even wrote out an entire 60k word fanfiction in a notebook by hand! My grammar was nearly flawless. I was a year away from graduating high school, when suddenly I broke my nose.
Now of course this is no reason to drop out. It's what ensued. In short, I went in for surgery, got it fixed (supposedly) and was sent on my merry way. Then, a few months later when working on a writing assignment, I realized that I couldn't remember anything. After a few weeks of this, I finally went in to see a natural doctor, who then discovered that the anesthetic had messed up my brain. As reported to me, the left side was left practically asleep, only able of motor function.
For two years I was in a major detox. Because of everything that happened, nearly everything that I learned from the 7th grade and up was wiped clean from my memory. Of course, I was devastated and dropped out of school. My writing ability, my straight A's in algebra, gone.
Needless to say, the critical thinking side of my brain has been damaged. Words come slow, my speech is slurred; I see it, I know it, but it's nearly impossible to express it into words. So, I became a writer--again. And it's all thanks to this wonderful story,
The Guardians of Azkarale, for had God not put it on my heart to bring to life I would never be where I am today.
A special thanks to my friend
for taking the time to read over my manuscript and helping me during this frustrating time in my life.
And also thanks to the characters, Arion Avalyndi, Azaleas Crisamo and Twipple the Loh'li for taking me to a world where time stands still and giving me more imagination than I ever thought possible. Without them I wouldn't be. ~
Very good journal.
