About Luxor

I was born in Athens, Georgia, and I stil live there today. I'm forteen years old, I live out in the country. It's flat and boring as hell, but I think that's what attributed to my development as a reader and a writer. I know some of you "cityslickers" from California and New York may have some misconceptions about us southerers, but believe me, there are actually some pretty inteligent people amidst the hillbillys and rednecks. :-)

Now, I can't talk about my writing without bringing up the man who got me into it: Darren Shan. From the day I found his books four years ago in September at my school's library, I knew that whatever else I did with my life, my true path was to be a writer. I started out writing fanfiction centered around his books, but gradually my own characters developed, and the resemblance to Darren Shan's plotlines discintigrated until I had a story that I could call my own.


Interests

Reading, writing, daydreaming, melting wax to create interesting shapes, music (only certain kinds though)

Occupation

Writer. It had to be asked, didn't it? :)


This planet has - or rather had - a problem, which was this: most of the people living on it were unhappy for pretty much all of the time. Many solutions were suggested for this problem, but most of these were largely concerned with the movement of small green pieces of paper, which was odd because on the whole it wasn't the small green pieces of paper that were unhappy.
