Blog #1-Welcome?

        Hi, my name is Tyler, I made this blog for my creative writing class. I like writing short stories, building suspense and leaving the reader hanging because that always pissed me off about short stories. I also like writing poems and songs but nothing will ever top my love of short stories. I'm good at writing darker grittier short stories that leave the focus on one character or through their eyes and thoughts. I love this class because i'm able to write freely to an extent. My girl friend inspires me to write alot of my poems and songs and the books I read and day dreams i have inspire most of my short stories. My blog is called Tyler's Hazardous mind because Hazard is my screen name when I play games, and yeah I'm sort of a video game nerd. My favorite author is Glen Cook, I can never escape from his books when I start them, the horror-sci-fi genre he writes is so gritty and feels more real than, as another author compared his work to basic fantasy, "much more gripping than a story of a handsome and charming prince whos pants buldge in the front as his line of perfect infantry walks on by after a clever victory." The characters are always flawed to the point of actually being human and it makes them more complex and deep. The Black Company is my favorite book by Glen Cook, it's worth the read and you won't be able to put it down.
