My name's Connor, and I'm a seventeen year-old aspiring writer. A lot of people I know say I'm gifted, and I can see why: I have a knack for coming up with brilliant ideas, but the thing is, I have a problem with actually sitting down and writing them. I am in the process of writing a science fiction novel (my favorite genre), but I'll make a post about it later.
I think a major hindrance in my writing is my depression. My stories are usually grim, cynical, and rarely end happily. The best you could probably get is a bittersweet ending. I'm hoping to be a diverse writer when I get thrown out into the world, become an "artist". An "artist", in my view, is a writer who writes for the deeper stuff: what resonance will the work have with the reader? In other word, and in my humble opinion, I hope not to stoop to the level of the guys who make #1 on the New York Times Bestseller list. I'm in it to tell stories that last, not stories that you pick up at an airport or in Wal-Mart.

Look forward to seeing your work!
