[b][i]This link is for the role players who participate in the Rivers of Blood to speak openly about the story and their characters. Here you can reveal details about your characters, side plots, and main storyline interactions. Help your readers understand what's going on with your end of the story. Also, this thread is for those of us that wish to speak about their writing process, inspirations, and other personal information.[/i][/b] [i]I'll go first. That somewhat obscured picture above is me. I chose that picture because it reflects my warped persona - normal on the outside, conflicted within. My name is Stephen, I'm 26 years old and I'm an amateur writer. I'm inspired by the music I listen to, books I read, and the games I play. In addition to being a writer, I'm also a musician. I've been playing guitar since I was 11 years old. Music is my life. Also, I'm a professional timeshare salesmen.. That's right.. I talk people into doing things that they really don't wanna do for a living lol. Having said that, here's how I go about my writing. My writing process depends heavily on my insomnia and long commute to work every day. I listen to music while I reflect on the story and my characters. All of my work is 100% authentic and comes from my sick, twisted psyche.. And I put a little bit of myself into every character. If you know my characters, then you know me - I like it that way :) I role play because it is a way to flex my creative brain and share my story. I love getting people involved with my messed up imagination. I strive to surround myself with similar people - hence my making the Rivers of Blood. Welcome to my fuked up imagination. I'm glad you could join me![/i]
