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? :)


Did you ever hear the Tragedy of Darth Plagueis the wise? I thought not. It's not a story the Jedi would tell you. It's a Sith legend. Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith, so powerful and so wise he could use the Force to influence the midichlorians to create life... He had such a knowledge of the dark side that he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying. The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. He became so powerful... the only thing he was afraid of was losing his power, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. It's ironic he could save others from death, but not himself.
