Alexander Gabriel No. I wouldn't subject my writing to any constraints, and I wouldn't spend time trying to prove anything in two sentences. Its more satisfying for me to spread illustrations out, however, my first book Ifria Fallen has a pace that moves along at faster than light. There are elements of horror within the action, and all the proceeds will go to charity.
Alexander Gabriel I have always loved books, and stories. As a child I would write stories but didn't develop the kind of patience, and determination it take to finish a book. I think I just reached a point in life where my mind isn't constantly evolving so that I can maintain a constant level of interest In a plot
I would rather be considered an author to be honest. I'm hardly making a living with words. Writers are educated to write grammatically correct doccuments, and structured stories. I am just a really imaginative person. It takes more computer software to make my work readable than to run the NSA.
I spend more time turning wrenches and riding mountain bikes than writing, but that is where I do my best creative thinking.
Thanks for taking an interest in my work.
Alexander Gabriel I usually try to imagine the story throughout my day so it is easy to get out when I sit down to write. Most commonly I only experience distraction, and fatiuge. Coffee can help a little if you enjoy it i also write to epic instrumental music to stimulate my creativity.
Alexander Gabriel Go for it. Maybe spend the money for good marketing. I have relied on my personal sphere of influence, and even with social media, it is difficult to reach a large enough audience without paying up front for advertising.
Alexander Gabriel As of 3/25/15 i am working on the second half of the sequel to Ifria Fallen, my roadbike, my fitness, and raisin my two year old daughter.
Alexander Gabriel Not unlike everything, my work is only a manipulation of pre-existing ideas. The most correct answer to this question is, the idea for the book was created by my heavy exposure to science fiction, and fantasy media throughout my formative years. A love of science fact(most of wich is theoretical) coupled with a love of day-dreaming, has been the most prevalent contributing factors.
