About Me


Born and raised in Oregon, where it rains, all the time. Seventeen years old. I will be eighteen next time the date happens to be July 5th. I am pretty anti-social. Except for people I get along with. And writers. Most writers I've talked to are very cool people. I am the overweight storyteller.
Incorrect grammar, abbreiviations (sp?) (examles: lol, omg, wtf?) and using numbers in writing (example: "there were 24 balloons, Mom.") bothers me.
I try my best when critisizing (sp?) to be kind but honest, to say what needs to be said, and not be cruel. I think I do a god job of it. Sometimes I apologize. "Kill your darlings."
I am also a bad spiller. I mean, speller. Lol jk.
I mostly write science fiction. I haven't written anything else since I was small. I have written for as long as I can remember, and have always had a passion for it. After sixteen years, I have isolated why. It is becuase my mother has been a bookworm all her life. When I was young, some subconcious part of me must have picked this up, and wanted to write myself, to make her happy. I remember drawing pictures for the stories I wrote, (ones that never seemed to get finished), thinking I would get them published.
I have probably been too influenced by other authors, but I think lately I have finally developed a style to call my own, not unconciously copying other people's ways of the word.

I like to listen to:
AC/DC
Angels and Airwaves
The Beatles
Blink-182
Flogging Molly
Green Day
Guns N' Roses
Jet
Led Zeppelin
Linkin Park
Lost Prophets
The Misfits
The Offspring
Pink Floyd
The Postal Service
Queen
The Ramones
Sugarcult
System of a Down
The Who

That's pretty much everything on my iPod. While I listen to music, I sing along, rather badly.
I adore video games, and it provides as a distraction from writing.
I do not do well in school, and have no other interest than writing, nothing I really want pursue. So I really just want to make my living writing novels. I don't know what I'll do if I can't do that.
Critisizm is NOT appreciated. Constructive critisizm is.

I know your not online much anymore, but I wanted to thank you for introducing me to this website almost a year ago. It's pretty cool and I've appreciated it, but the thing I love about it most is it inspires me to write :) I have something to write for you know. So Thanks!

Do you have anything that you want to say about 9/11? Something that I could add to the thoughts section of the book. I really don't have a whole lot there.

Thanks for reviewing 'How to Sell Crap on the Internet', Ken, you're very kind.
I'll review your work as soon as I get a minute... I'm totally snowed under with a final edit of my book at the minute (life is so hard).
Thanks,

Kevin
