About me

They begin deep inside your body, bubbling up little by little. Breaking the forced calm on the surface as you try to keep it all intact. Emotions are the most powerful thing in the world. They will bring us down to our knees (Like someone who lost all that they loved) or lift us up to the sky (Like the happiest surprise you could think of). They will make us do things which we thought were impossible for us to ever accomplish (Like a mother lifting a car to save her son.) and they are what make us human.

For a long long time something has been molding my life. Something over which I have no control. One of the few things that actually helped me cope was writing. There is food and exercise but no one wants to know how fast I can wipe out the very existence of food in my vicinity.

The first of the many crappy things I wrote (my genesis block if you will) were stupid songs with friends while we sat just whiling the time away. The next were just simple rhymes and the next was a story which now that I think about it should never exist in any form. Each time I felt a tiny weight being lifted from my shoulders. I cannot explain it. Nor am I trying to sound all mystical.

In college I wrote a bunch of more crappy stories. I thank God for giving me the sense to not use an entirely different name for them. Disavowed form existence. Each time I wrote was at the precipice of my heightened emotions tearing me apart from the inside. Yup they do that.

Over time I have read more books. Yes you have to read more to write more. I wonder how the first writers started though. I have written more, each time trying to improve myself.

My end goal would be to write a few novels. Write a bunch of short stories. Ones which make others learn, heal the damage dealt by life and perhaps one day when I learn to be funny, to make them laugh.

A big thanks to thewritersblock@thewritersblock for all their help in improving me. My writing. to be more precise.

As you may have noticed from all the details I have shared that I am fiercely private. Heheheh.

Styles of writing? (very rare for writers to follow style. :) )

So I learnt the first style of writing. It was writing whatever the hell that came to your mind. It was pretty bad.

I am not entirely sure of what you guys mean by writing style. It’s different for everyone, so I’ll just sum up what I do know.

The narration voice I usually would use was Omni. Omni is for omnipresent.
You know, like the ever present nagging voice telling you to pick up your socks. It’s like that but now it tells everything about everyone. .

Now I have progressed to deep POV. What’s that. It’s like, you are at a party and you keep move around telling yourself ooh my, that person looks cute, ooh my the food is awesome. Maybe I will offer her a drink.

You walk up to the person and say something goofy like
“Hey, drink, you. No I mean you drink. I umm.”
In your mind you think WTF did I just say. Walk away cool.
That’s deep POV. We are in you. Which sounds creepy. But meh.

What do I usually write about?
Fiction. I love making up stories. Although sometimes I do write other stuff like funny poetry. About my app for the steem block chain. Sometimes about my feelings, they are usually in a story but sometimes just out in the open. Very rarely though.

Some of my stories do have some small thing to teach others. It depends if you are looking for it.

Why do I want to be a part of sndbox@sndbox?

Tbh I had heard of them only once, proceeded to check their site which at that time was just one page and I left it be. So to answer this part I went back again to their site (whats the point of half-assing it.)

Step one

I would love to learn about everything that you guys, have to teach. Everything related to writing and then some.

Step two

Be a part of their upcoming magazine. I am not going to spoon feed you its name. Go read about it.

Step three

Be able to teach others all the things I learned. Initiate the uninitiated. Hehehe.

I thank anomadsoul@anomadsoul ,guyfawkes4-20@guyfawkes4-20 and sndbox@sndbox for this nice contest.
