What are you a fan of? Who are your favorite authors? Music? I was in the music industry in one of my lifetimes a couple of decades ago so music is always around me. I'm fairly middle. ground but will listen to just about anything. Favorite Artists Sarah Mclachlan, Pink Floyd, Alan Parson's Project, Lindsey Stirling, Fleetwood Mac, Styx, Nickelback, Musicals, Concrete Blonde OneRepiblic, Lush, Republica, Moody Blues and Billy Joel to name just a few. I read far too much: Clive Cussler, Stephen Donaldson, Robert Heinlien, Anne Mcaffrey, Lois McMaster Bujold, Melanie Rawn, yes Brandon Sanderson, Terry Pratchet Robert Jordan, Shel Silverstein, Alfred Lord Tennyson, and W.B. Yeats Laurel K Hamilton, Kevin Hearne, Patricia Briggs, Jim Butcher and David Weber. When Paperbacks wer not bricks I coud read a book a day (pre-internet). I'm doing good now if its a book a week. I still watch cartoons (mostly anime), read comic books, play with legos and always Star trek over Star Wars. This posting brought to you out of true curiosity. These are some of the things that shape us. Pre-internet I actually read magazines and the newspaper, made chainmail while watching television, read and drew more and spent a lot more time out doors. Now saying that I had a modem link in 1982 and ran a 4 line BBS system in 1988. Please do not ask "What's a BBS System" took me over two hours to explain it to my wife. and OMG the system I used has a website and is trying to bring back the user network. This was hi-tech stuff at the time! https://www.themajorbbs.com/gallery/ (squirrel) As writers, the more you experience the better you write. Go out and let life splash on you!
