John Roth

When I was younger I was more into art, not that writing isn't an art, because it very much is, but I'm talking more the visual arts. Mainly drawing, but I also loved painting and sculpture. Many of my sculpture would be monsters, or mythological in nature. My paintings weren't really anything to write home about. My drawings consisted mostly of my own original stuff, monsters, demons, characters, but I also enjoyed lampooning video game and anime. For example:

But one thing that always remained in the background was my writing. Many of my teachers had lauded my writing and artistic talents, but what teacher didn't do that to a high school student? They're there to encourage you.

After I graduated high school I toyed around with livejournal and worked at a department store that I hated. Loved the people I worked with, despised the customers that came in. In 2004 my father passed away and I went to college. When I started I really didn't know what I wanted to do. I took some art and English courses, and over time I finally came to the realization that art just wasn't where I wanted to go with my life. I currently attend Madison Area Technical College where I'm striving for a degree in animation and English with concentration in creative writing. I may drop the animation part of it. We'll see.

I enjoy writing about the characters I created in my younger days, as well as creating new ones when the inspiration comes to me. I have created vast worlds, characters, and realities, and I'm sick of being the only person to experience them. Almost all of my work is based in a single world. I love connecting events together, so that everything flows together and my world can be given a history.

If there is anything that anyone can do for me, is give me feedback on my work. I'll try my best to make it as exciting and fun for you to read as it is for me to write. I'll also be more then happy to return the favor by reviewing your work when I have the time in between school, work, writing, and gaming.
