Update: 09/19/07
Hey, ok, I guess this is the part where I say something about myself. Of course this will be fairly short because, let's face it, I'm not all that interesting probably. However, here are a few things that you may like to know...if only for your personal satisfaction:
Basic Info:
Name: James (but feel free to call me Jiggy or Jiggs, its a common nickname for me)
Age: 20 (and getting older by the day unfortunately)
Gender: Male
Place of Origin: The Lone Star State (Texas, in case you're too lazy to look it up)
Hobbies: Video Games (Devil May Cry rules!), Computer (E-fedding mostly: internet wrestling involving creative writing), Writing (duh!), as well as hang out with my friends.
Reason for joining: To see what people think of my writing. I do not wish to become a professional writer, but I do enjoy writing in my freetime. Oddly enough, I find more comfort in getting the opinions on my writing from people I don't know because they can openly voice their opinions without hesitation because I am nothing more than a screen name/pen name to them. If you do decide to review my writing(s) please think of me as that. I will take no offense for everything you say will only help me in the end.
Misc Facts about myself:
Favorite TV shows:
Live Action: Heroes, Supernatural
Cartoon: Simpsons
Anime: Digimon 3rd & 4th season (anxiously waiting for the 5th to start on Toon Disney), Full Metal Alchemist (I miss Cartoon Network's Adult Swim...I need CN badly), Noein, Tokko, Bleach, InuYasha (Curse my loss of Cartoon Network for Adult Swim! Only bad thing about coming home from vacation. Luckily, I get Noein and Tokko on Ani-Mondays on Sci Fi! /Cheap-Plug )
Favorite Video Games: Devil May Cry 1, 2, & 3 (yes, I even liked 2; despite it being the worst of the series, it's still a good games), any kind of war-time games (can't think of any off the top of my head), and pretty much any kind of action game
Favorite Music/Bands: Rock music; Adema (hands down, favoite song "Immortal"), Three Days Grace, I'm growing a liking to The Birthday Massacre, Seether, Breaking Benjamin, as well as a bunch of classic rock bands
Favorite Kinds of stories: Zombie, Supernatural (Demons and spirits), Werewolf, some Vampire, and Action (usage of guns)
Misc.: I am a VERY music oriented writer. Complete silence does nothing but create writer's block. In order to write I MUST have music playing that suits the mood of the scene I am writing (i.e. Heart-pounding guitar, heavy metal for action scenes; slow soulful songs for the more emotional bits; etc.) So, if you ever read something and don't quite understand it, try and turn on some music that you feel would work as background music if the scene was part of a movie, because that's generally what I strive for.
Current Project(s):
Lost to a Demon's Soul: (Rated M for scenes of gore and occasional swearing) Something I started writing out of boredom and actually took a shining too, as well as the main reason I joined. If you read it, obviously you can tell I suck at summaries and seem to have drifted from the description given. But what can you expect, I'm pretty much making up the story as I go, though I have actually pretty much figured out all the way to the end.
Cries of the Undead: Zombie story (as said in the name); still in idea development, but a possibility of being written. Plus, I've wanted to write a zombie story for quite some time now. Be sure to look for it if I ever decide to write it.
Update:If written, it most likely is to be a collection of different individuals' stories as they experience the same event rather than a story involving multiple characters. Though, there is always a chance that it my grow into an actual story.
Current Writing motivation Song(s):The following songs have been used to help write 'Lost to a Demon's Soul,' just in case you're wondering how I get in the mood to write it/help you understand the atmosphere of the story...if even just a little bit.
