Gehennaheretic Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 (edited) Hello all, I'm new. I exist. I'm one of those people that learned of Brandon Sanderson by way of The Wheel of Time. I've since become at least as big a fan of Sanderson as I am of Jordan. I absolutely LOVE Way of Kings. Hmm. What else... Well I'm an aspiring writer, trying to get my aspiring to writing ratio into a favorable condition. I listen to Writing Excuses and try to get to Brandon's signings when he's within somewhat reasonable range. I've learned a lot and enjoy the podcast and the advice. I also listen to I Should Be Writing and A Way With Words, among others. Other authors I like are Pat Rothfuss, George RR Martin, Jim Butcher, Harry Conolly, Michael Stackpole, Kevin J Anderson, and of course I cut my babyteeth on Tolkien and Le Guin. I'm reading Kevin J Anderson's Saga of Seven Suns right now. Got to meet him at Dragon Con this year when his wife accidentally tried to take my friend's head off with a backward karate chop. I'm pretty laid back in general. I work as a software engineer. I'm a huge geek. I larp. I play RPGs, and am a casual WoW addict. I'm happily married to a wonderful geeky wife who makes me smile. No kids yet. Two cats. That's about it. So hi! Edited September 15, 2011 by OwensMT
CrazyRioter she/her Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 I'm a huge Jim Butcher fan myself. And my dad was a software engineer before he retired, and I love cats. Welcome, seems like we have a lot in common. Have you dragged your wife into Brandon fandom yet?
KChan she/her Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 Welcome! I cut my teeth on Tolkein as well, and I'm getting to read Jim Butcher soon. And I also love cats. Oh! And have a cookie!
