Who are you?
Who are you?13 Years AgoThis is a brief section to say hello and give a brief background about yourself. I hope that everyone will drop a line here and state the following: Name; Schooling; What do you like to write, fantasy, sci-fi, ect; What do you feel your strength as a writer is? Weakness; Goals; why do you write and have you been published?
Name: H. Duane Sharpe Schooling: I am a graduate of Central Haywood High and I am a Junior seeking a B.A. in Literature w/ a minor in Professional Writing at Western Carolina University. I hope to be full time writer one day, but right now I plan on teaching and journalism until the time is right. What do I like to write? I like to Fantasy and Science Fiction with elements of psychological horror and self exploration and romance What do I feel my strength is as a writer? I feel my strength is lies in my tense description of action and the way I capture painful emotions in my characters. What do I feel my weakness is? Definately dialouge. I have a hard to using deliberately placed and functional dialouge and I often will use unneeded adverbs. Why do I write? I have always felt compelled to. It's the only thing that has ever felt natural for me to do other than breath, eat, toilicate, and sleep. I quess it's my fifth element. Am I published? Sure. I have published under a psydeunym in the free E-Zine the Monster Next Door. I sold the rights to a poem to F and W publishing a while back, but where they published it, or if it was is a mystery since they fell to return phone calls after you've been paid. |
