HOWDY

Hey, I kind of made an introduction post in the Halloween event thing, but I figured I should make a legitimate one. I entered the Halloween contest as a sort of ice breaker, I guess. That game is called The God of Crawling Eyes. I have another game that you might have seen over at rpgmakervx.net or rpgmakerweb called A Very Long Rope to the Top of the Sky; I'll post it here as soon as the Halloween event dies down.

A little about me: I've played guitar for a little over ten years now and I have a master's in creative writing, so, needless to say, I'm unemployable. That's okay, though, because I have a job that gets me by (grading freshmen English essays--the definition of fun, I know) and it affords me a lot of free time to follow creative projects, which I'm all about. When I was a kid, RPGs were my bread and butter, and it's been fun working with RPG maker and developing the kind of stuff I always wanted to play. My strong points are plot/character development and music. I tend to write slipstream fiction, but the games I've developed have fit into more traditional genres, though I hope the character development elevates them to a degree.

I guess that's it. I probably won't post on the forums a lot; I'm kind of a nose-to-the-grindstone kind of guy. I used to be more laid back, but I guess as I get older I'm just more motivated to leave my footprint.

If I could give a definition for uncreative writing, it would be technical writing, which is one step lower on the creative scale than what I grade.
