"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."

Going right into it, I'm going to share with you all some things about myself: I love writing (obviously) and sketching characters and creatures from my stories; I love wolves, knights, and airsoft as a hobby. I'm nineteen as of January 6, I wear glasses for driving when I'm in my little seafoam-colored Chevy cobalt, and my absolute favorite kind of candy is Haribo gummy bears (especially the 3lb bags, because why not??). I own a lazy black cat named Midnight and I love him to death and I had a really interesting disease called pleurisy, which sometimes makes your lungs feel like they're attempting to commit seppuku. My favorite video games are Halo, Oneshot (check it out on steam, it's amazing!), Destiny 1, and The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion. I have read The Hobbit by the amazing and inspiring J.R.R. Tolkien and most of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series by Jeff Kinney. I take huge inspiration from Tolkien as I deeply love the world and lore that he created!

I began taking a serious interest in writing near the beginning of my freshman year of high school. I enjoy being able to tell stories of my world, lore, and characters to others. I have also been drawing and sketching for many, many years and hopefully will be going to college for a degree in game design! Particularly the storyboarding and concept art aspects of the field.

As a child even leading into my early teens, I suffered from an overwhelming amount of nightmares which led to countless sleepless nights. Thankfully, they ceased several years ago, but unfortunately, I will never be able to account for so many lost hours of sleep. However, on the bright side, I am now comfortable enough to actually talk about them in detail in one of my other compilation books, "The Nyghtmares".
