I'm a little nervous about making this post. Not that you guys are vicious or anything. It's not you, it's me. It's more the whole, 'first impressions last,' thing and that most of my posts online are full of typos and grammatical errors.
Anyway, here goes nothing. Please don't hate me:
Why I'm here: I've really enjoyed reading through these boards and decided to join.
Where I'm from: I'm from North Carolina.
What genres do I write: I write mostly LGBT fiction, but not really erotica or romance. Of course, some of it does have romance involved but that's not the niche I go for. I tend to write about teenage characters, but I'm not sure my books are really for teenagers. My books tend to be NC-17, but it's more for violence, curse words, and touchy themes like suicide, sexual assault, and drug use than it is for sex scenes.
How Long Have You Been Writing: I wrote my first novel in 7th grade. I'm now in my 30's. I've been published three times by a small indie publishing house. However, compared to what some of you have accomplished, that isn't super impressive.
Do you beta-read?: Well, I have before but it's not something I'm the greatest at. I'm picky, I tend to be too blunt, or sometimes I say the wrong thing. I'm also not as knowledgeable as some others out there. If a book really strikes my interest, I'm not opposed to it. I mean, reading is fun because... reasons.
Do you have any particular hobbies? Are you an expert in any particular field or craft?: I am a circus artist. I spin plates, juggle, perform devil sticks, staff, poi, and trapeze among other things. I figure skate, I play guitar, bass, and keyboard, I am nightlife entertainer, I went to film school and have worked on a few films, I directed a feature-length documentary about drag pageantry. I promote/produce LGBT nightlife events and drag pageants in multiple states. I also promote/produce male entertainment contests in multiple states. From time to time, I compete. I'm a former Mr. NC Entertainer of the Year, Mr. KY Entertainer of the Year, Mr. Gay NC USofA, Mr. Gay Southeast USofA At Large, and Mr. Don't H8, among other titles. Oh, and graphic design. I love graphic design and photography. I run a small graphics business on the side. I do music mixes and video editing as well. Also, I like following politics and current events.
Other interesting facts?: I'm short. I wear a hearing aid.
So, with that said... Hey guys!
