Author has written 13 stories for General, Sci-Fi, and Essay. I write stories. Here are some of them. I always want to hear people's perspectives on them, and when I enter stories into competitions and stuff I am still interested in responses to them but vastly prefer the type of reviews that kick me in the ass. "This is wrong!" I want people to say. "This is stupid and confusing! Here! Fix this!" Very rarely do people follow through on their promises to kick me in the ass. I listen to music. Some of it is crazy and weird and some of it everyone has heard of. If we communicate and you want to know what I like, I'll send you my last.fm. I read books. I love Spanish writers recently, not least because they are helping me learn their language. Quiero aprender mucho más, pero gracias a Lorca y Gabriel Garcia Marquez por las cosas que puedo decir ahora! I also love strangely beautiful SF, but traditional stuff tends to ring clunky and dumb to my ears. Def China Mieville over fantasy starring an elf with oddly colored eyes. I read everything, even the sad dead Russians. I write letters. I exist on Postcardx and send mail out to strangers. I exist. Read my stories? | |||||||||||
