I have probably read about a hundred novels in my life. Depending
on who you ask, that could be considered impressive or lacking. What I used to devour
though were comic books and that number would easily be over a thousand. In grade
school, I was extremely fascinated by Greek mythology and that loosely translated
into a fondness for Thor. I eventually discovered the X-Men when they were just
uncanny and from there I was hooked on the M the C did not exist yet U.
My story telling maintains many characteristics of this form
such as the concept of a large shared universe, veiled introductions, origin
stories, multiple plot lines and Easter Eggs. Trollish behavior is accomplished not only by the
grunts within these pages but also by the author. Team ups have a propensity of
happening, the student teacher element is commonly portrayed, and there are always
sprinkles of romance.
All these elements seem like a winning combination to me. It
also happens to be the only way I can tell a story. I’ve had struggles with my
editors’ feedback to revise certain sections because of the perceived awkwardness
of this non-traditional approach. In the end, I decided that I would make my
grits the way I want and that also applies to my mush. Enjoy the mush.
