I Write Science Fiction and Fantasy
In my 9th grade English class, I liked to imagine two secret service men rushing into the classroom, whisking me away to see the president of the United State, who would send me on a secret assignment. I was his teenage 007.
My little fantasy ended when my teacher distracted me with a romanticized description of a writer’s adventurous life. It might have been Hemingway: traveling, going on safaris, running with the bulls in Spain, living in Cuba, wars.
That day I decided to become a writer.
Years later, I can tell you this: that teacher’s story was about as real as the dragons in my books.
Writing is a solitary life, enjoyed by people, who spend most of their time imagining people having adventures in strange and wonderful places, while they sit for hours everyday typing away.
Don’t get me wrong there are plenty of crazy, wild writers who drink too much, have extreme adventures, and live wild, crazy lives. I fall into the boring as hell category.
