Words - possibly the most powerful weapon that man has in his arsenal. It has the ability to wage war, negotiate peace, and possibly most importantly of all, write books.
Now books; books, books, books. They mean a lot of things to a lot of people, to some they are relics of times past, an age where humanity was still developing. To others they are reminders of literary greats dead long past, but as you are on my website, I suppose you want to know what they mean to me.
To me, what do they mean? They are something to be enjoyed, whether writing or reading them; something to be treasured. They are made up of words, but so much more at the same time. The characters, evolving in your mind as you write. They become a part of you, and so does the book. So to me, books are a part of me, and a part of who I am. When you connect with a character you see a glimmer of yourself, of what you could be in that fiction, and so you start to attach yourself to the book and start to love it. So to me, writing is so much more than just jotting down ideas on a page making a book. To me, writing is about making people fall in love with the characters, the story and the book. It's about the experience.
None of that, however, really tells you much about me. As previously stated I am eighteen, and writing is one of my worlds; without that world to sink into I would be very lost indeed. In all honesty, writing is a way I can forget about the real world, all the crap that happens inside it and allows me to express who I am in a really unique fashion.
For the longest time, I have wanted to be a doctor, study medicine and have means to be able to help people on a daily basis. Medicine is my prime ambition in life, however writing is extremely close to my heart.
I suppose this still doesn't answer the question, who am I? However this does:
