Profligate reader, harsh critic, published author, linguistically deft, Daughter of Coldharbour, hopeless Arcane fangirl, wielder of the sword of Damoclites, latte consumer par excellence. I started writing as an outlet for my own psyche and kept at it because it seems others derive comfort from what I write. This is where I write the things I can't write elsewhere, for many reasons. The feedback I receive is a treasure I cherish. Don't take my lack of response personally, it's just how things have to be. Life is like that sometimes. I've always loved the blurry line between realism and fantasy, hence the names of authors I will sometimes reference in my works. I love Turner's visions, van Gogh's colours, and Rembrandt's understanding of how shadow rules over light. If pressed, I'd choose Beethoven over everything, although Skyrim would honestly give him a solid run for his money. I judge books by a page chosen at random so that I do not commit my time and energy to something that will not be worth it. I judge movies by the first five minutes, and if they do not hook me at once they never will. If you somehow manage capture my imagination or my heart, though, I am yours until the bitter end. As to where the words come from? I've loved books all my life, and have always had a vivid imagination and a tendency to brood. Writing allows me to share scenes from my mind - to clear them and the clutter they bring so that I can, perhaps, move on. |
