I guess those that got this far want to know more about the man behind the stories. Well, here goes!
I'm your standard bookworm who dreams of one day doing what he loves, and that's stories. Maybe every big-time reader feels the need to try writing for themselves, or maybe that's just for a select few. Regardless, I intend to post what I have so far and improve as I go. Any suggestions on how to go about with improving would be greatly appreciated.
Now that I have some stories posted, I'll quickly go over them (more or less in the order of when I started writing them).
Power's Price is the product of years of idle world creation and sudden inspiration brought on by staying up way later than I'm used to. I'm almost done with the first segment, which focuses on introducing the world and the magic system (through the eyes of the main character), so now we can start getting down to the action and drama.
Sarl is a spooky short story that I wrote, and I feel equally proud of it. Take a look at it, but not if you're easily creeped out. You're left asking if Sarl even exists.
Inca Magic is my attempt to write contemporary fantasy. I spent some time in the town of El Salvador in Chile, which is where the story starts, so if you think I threw in too many details, sorry. I'm touching it up so that it focuses more on the people and less on the setting.
Elements' Melody is the result of a love for writing and a love for D&D. However, I've really reworked it so hopefully it loses the geek factor and gains the awesome-story factor. It originally was a campaign that my friends and I ran, and I thought it might be good practice to put it down on paper.
Sir Gwaith and the Dragon is a funny little thing I put together when I couldn't bring myself to actually do my homework. Hopefully its existence will not sink my GPA.
Little Green Man Plumbing is a crazy idea I had for contemporary fantasy. I admit that I've read Twilight (if you don't understand why I might have denied that, just bear in mind that I'm male). I started thinking, 'why are the beautiful mythical creatures the ones that end up in human society and the ugly ones never get put in?' Here's the story of one of the ugly ones making his way in modern society.
Wordsmith is the result of making a world just for fun, then liking the result so much that I couldn't leave it alone. I hope I can do that awesome world justice in my story. This one is literally spur of the moment, since I wrote the first draft about a day or two after first brain-storming the world.
I have a few other ideas that I'll be trying to get down on paper, but between work, school and actually trying to have a life, time is scarce. We'll see how it goes.
Aside from writing, another interest of mine is language. I'm fluent in a few different languages and am striving to learn others as I go. No, I don't speak Klingon or Elvish; my focus is on modern, real-life languages, though I admit to having tried making artificial languages before. My pen name is "green" in Arabic, for those that might have been wondering.
Speaking of languages, I'm in Jordan this summer, so updates may be a bit slower than some people would like. Sorry about that, but I hope to keep up the quality if not the quantity of my posts. In sha' Allah. While I'm over here, I'll be doing a blog, which I invite anybody to visit. Try looking under sthrw36.livejournal.com, and if that doesn't pull anything up, please message me to let me know that there's an error there somewhere.
