the history of the world MAKERS
In the beginning, there was an idea. Ideas have power. Power to inspire others.
My writing stems from those who inspired me to create and design. Worlds, nations, society, universes, I want to build them all, with my sentences and letters.
Before I could remember my parents supplied me with Lego to play with. I build and crafted and rebuilt for hours. What always bugged me was that no matter how crazy of a design I had, I was still playing on the same carpet. My ships sailed on carpet, my cars drove across carpet, my space shuttles based off from carpet. I couldn’t escape it.
I left the Lego for a while and started exploring the world of Redwall. Those books introduced me to a completely immersive world. I WAS IN A TOTALLY DIFFERENT WORLD. I sat there on that same carpet but suddenly it was a forest, it was a beach, it was a mountain, it was the ocean. The writing style of the late Brian Jacques consumed me so entirely, it overcame me, it transformed me, yea, it purified me. I took from him the concept that to sculpt and craft meant that you could make a reader forget the environment around them.
Video games were a pacifier. A soother to keep the baby quiet. Although, they helped expand my imagination it hindered it at the same time. The only game that truly inspired me to create and to build was Fire Emblem for the GBA. That world too was immersive.
Coming of age meant a higher amount of disposable income. What better was to spend money than to start a subscription to comic books. Spider-Man, Moon Knight, Daredevil, Fantastic Four, The Flash, Green Lantern, all of these heroes caught my attention. I grew up with Spider-Man’s cartoons and reading the odd comic book that my brother had in his room. When I started to buy comics I opened myself up to even more of the way creativity allows for an immersive read.
I took two years off from the world as a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Dominican Republic. Without the distractions of television and the internet and other things, my imagination went wild. My experiences there inspired many stories and characters that will some day come to pass. I filled up a book with ideas, they are seeds that are planted. Time to let them grow.
