Dracoe he/him Posted October 30, 2023 Report Share Posted October 30, 2023 Hello just want to give a introduction of myself. My name is Dracoe aka Crosby. A bit about myself, I am an electrical engineer who holds a BS in Physics and a minor in Mathematics, I know that was a very nerdy sentence, I say those a lot. During my studies I specialized in obviously electricity and magnetism, but also a bit in acoustics. I am a husband and father, a musician and also an aspiring writer myself. I discovered Brando about two years ago when I really delved back into books after not reading throughout all of college, and I dived right into Way of Kings. It was certainly a choice I made for my first foray back into reading, but that decision catapulted me into the Cosmere and back into reading in general. Over the next year I voraciously devoured many a Brando book and also Wheel of Time. During this, I connected very deeply with Kaladin. Between him and just the sheer beauty of the Stormlight Archive, I was inspired to start down my own path of writing. I have lurked around this site for a bit and decided to jump into the action for myself. With that, if you have any questions for me, I will gladly answer them. Otherwise, I will see you in the threads! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to give that to Way of Kings because it was my first foray into reading after not having read for like 6 years and the the Honor Chasm scene made me cry.

I have not published anything as of yet. I have mostly just written stuff for myself. I have been looking into possibly publishing some short stories while I work on my first novel, but then I have to balance doing short stories and novel writing along with my full time career as an electrical engineer. I have some old cringey high school poetry floating around, but other than that no. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I play video games, I'm a musician, an engineer, a father and husband. I'm sure I will get it figured out eventually, but I took a long break from writing and am just recently getting back into it so I am figuring things out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
