Profile Information
Welcome everyone to the writings, musings, and ramblings of, well...me, Brandon Everett. Stephen King once said that "Fiction writers, present company included, don't understand very much about what they do--not why it works when it's good, not why it doesn't when it's bad." This space is my attempt to test this theory. Should be an interesting journey.
Writing for me has always been an escape. The art of storytelling is as innate a human aspect as eating or breathing. I didn't really begin to focus on the craft until college, when I decided that persuing an education was something I actually wanted to do, rather than something I thought I should do. I attended junior college and really found my stride, both in academic and recreational writing. I had a few pieces published in the college literary magazine, which really helped to stoke the fire.
Whether people like what I write or not is really not my concern. I appreciate any and all criticism; if it helps me improve I welcome it. Stories are meant to be experienced and as long as there's an emotional connection made by the reader (whether it's that they liked it or thought it was complete crap), ultimately that's the goal. For what it's worth, I enjoy the stories I write and that's all that really matters. Thanks for taking the time to checking my stuff out. It really means a lot.
