The name's Wolf Hartman and yeah, that's my real name. Nice to meet ya.
So, let's get this introduction rolling. I'm in love with writing. I'm in love with stories. I'm in love with imagination. I believe that imagination is a sort of sixth sense that is stronger in those who are more sensitive to the thinner areas of reality. Ask me more on that theory. Anyway, in my own household, town and school, my work has been described both as overly-dark, overly-done, over-the-top, unapologetic but also as: "incredibly well-written", "visionary", "deep" and "showing a true-talent in the art form." Yeah, I had to throw that in there cause it makes me feel good. Ha, ha. Moving right along, my favorite authors are: John Steinbeck, Lewis Carroll, Chuck Klosterman, Stephen King, Chuck Palahniuk and Arthur Miller. I'm an officer at my school's creative-writing club, a member of Thespian Troupe 199 and the co-manager of the 08-09 Comedy Sportz team. I'm in love with the arts in any form basically.
I'm a liberal, non-judgmental Christian/Unitarian and Transcendentalist. Socially, I'm a extroverted person by nature. I love hanging around with people and I love my friends. I'm a member of a group of people known as The Kitchen Sink. It's as much of a philosophy as a group of people; a philosophy on non-judgmental inclusion that I have personally adopted as my own. I enjoy public stunts of most-kinds as long as they are entertaining and not mean. Basically, I love people of all kinds.
My only request to all of you is that if you read any of my stories, please do not leave comments/reviews such as: I hate this or this sucks! I really am putting my stuff up here so I can get real advice for improvement from actual people. So please feel free to critique. Compliments are always accepted though. I'm in short-supply in my household. Seriously.
Usually I will put up a chapter or two and see how it is received before I upload more than that.
Thanks!
UPDATES, NOTES & WHAT-NOT
7/24: THE VICE CRUSADES is currently on hiatus. Not for any bad reasons, it's probably for the best in the end. I'm rewriting a few chapters, adding a prologue and reworking a few things that I've come across that are problematic for the way that I'm planning on taking it. I really am not sure on how long this hiatus will last but please have faith that this is not the end of this series. I'm am incredibly proud of myself (in a completely non-narcissistic manner of course) of this series and I am incredibly attached to it. As for when it starts back up, expect me to upload at a much more relaxed paced. I drove myself up a proverbial wall in with the last two chapters. All right. Thanks to all y'all.
On another note: I am currently working on three other series. So look for them in the near future. I won't say anything but at least expect one to end up here. I usually like to write about 4-5 chapters before I upload anything up here. Anyway. - WOLF
