| Scott Broderus |
Author has written 54 stories for Play, Love, Historical, Politics, Life, Nature, Friendship, War, General, and Essay. I go by many names. My two most noted, however, are Leafeus Agamemnon and Scott Broderus. Neither, of course, is my real name, but they mean as much to me as the name I was given at birth does. Leafeus Agamemnon began as the peaceful war hero, springing into existence from A Leafless Rose. I use him for almost all of my anonymous personalities, so if you see a Leafeus elsewhere, it is most likely me. Scott Broderus is a name I took upon myself whilst I was hiking along the Appalachian Trail. Scott Broderus is merely a combination of the names of some of the people closest to me, outside of my family, of course. Something else that you must understand as a reader of my works is that I do not always write as myself. I have been Leafeus Agamemnon for so long now that whenever I write, I develop most of my personality and written voice from his mind. No, he is not a voice in the back of my head telling me to do things, but he is a part of me. As is Scott Broderus. So understand that any position I take is merely because I think it is a good story, not because I am trying to advertise its support. Some people have been curious as to which author writes which piece. I do not put their names on the individual works for certain reasons. For one, I could be feeling the moods of Scott Broderus while I am writing something that has a very Agamemnon-like voice to it, and visa-versa. Also, what's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet. Thank you Mr. Shakespeare. All three of us, Agamemnon, Broderus, and myself are the same person. They are merely conduits that I have created and through wich I can write about anything. Therefor, no one pice is written by one attidude. We all have a hand in the works, literally and figuratively. I am currently an undergraduate student at Penn State University. I am studying two majors, Business Administration Management in the Smeal School, and Hotels, Restaurants, and Instituions Management in the College of Human Health and Development. I love hearing what people have to say about my pieces, even if it is criticism. So please, let me know what you think. I always try to review in return. Lastly, I have to give a shout-out to the person who put me on this site and kept my pen writing. Asia Ralaia Schiegoh, you are always an inspiration. "Your mind is both a tool and a weapon; use it as such, but not in a mannner that requires you to beat it against things." | |||||||||
