When I write, I do not see myself as a god of my own crafted world. I'm a traveler. Writing is my journal in which I describe my experience in this alien reality. When I show my writing to others, it is like taking their hand, and bringing them with me into this world I explored. Keeping this in mind, if I write poorly in my journal, I'll probably get us both lost!

My stories tend to be bittersweet, having both serene and soul-crushing moments. It is my belief that dark moments in a story allow the happier moments to shine even brighter in that darkness, and vice versa.

I enjoy unique surreal settings and stories, especially those that are cosmic and/or gothic themed. My tastes beyond that vary quite heavily, with magic, occult, and science fiction being among my favorite. But psychological and philosophical stories that challenge the reader's mind with their topics and mysteries are the most delicious!

The idea of crafting and being a part of such immersive worlds is a fascinating concept to me. My favorite stories aren't just heartwarming or have an appealing ascetic, but are slowly, and thoroughly baked with love into a perfect illusion. The illusions are so powerful that they draw away from your own world for a while, and once you return, a part of their genius illusion will stay with you, as though you were truly a part of the events that took place.

I want to use the furthest extent of my capabilities and beyond to introduce the reader to my worlds' inhabitants, tell their stories, show them around town, sample the food, and have the reader leave with unforgettable memories of their journey. Succeeding with this puts a smile on my face because, after all the work and thorough planning, I am thrilled to have crafted a world they could enjoy and hopefully never forget.
