# About me
I am a writer, of the amateur persuasion, looking to have a go at the professional sector. I use this as an outlet while I'm tweaking my novel and as a way to (hopefully) meet others, improve my skills, and perhaps even gain something of a readership.My preference is science fiction and fantasy, but I dip my hands in horror, political, and romantic prose as well as poetry and sometimes pop-cultural essays. My passion is painting with language. The more clear an image or feeling is, the better I feel I've done.
If you like my work, please let me know. That's a big part of why I do this; to share experiences and ideas with others.
If you want to tell me I'm terrible, you're welcome to do that as well. I would only ask you do so privately, for our mutual benefit.
Cheers!

YOU!!!
1. I miss you. Write more stuff!
2. On the other hand, apparently, if you've put the stuff up on dA, it counts as "self published" and traditional publishers don't (usually) touch it... doh.
3. I spend the last 3 days at a writers' conference and found an Anthology group that writes stuff that reminded me of you. I kinda wanna send them a link to this page and be like "dude! Publish. The WickedGumball guy!"
4. Also, I learned a *lot* about writing anyway and have my Publishy Battle Plan for the next year. Ask me stuff!!! Your short stories are *awesomeness* and more "publishable" than anybody else I know.

So... today I was reading Stephen King's "Night Shift", specifically the short story "Battleground" and my thought was "needs more WickedGumball..."

Look, at the end of the day, I have no idea who you are, where you are from, where you're going, or what is going on in your life, but - person to person - I love you, Mizu.
I'd buy you a beer and give you a foot rub any day. I owe you that much, at least, for all the times you've made me feel just that much better about myself.
You're a star. Thank you so much!

Defacing or otherwise damaging someone's property. Vandalism, basically.

That's a very generous compliment. I hope I can continue to entertain and possibly inspire.

Keep up your scribblings- I find writing is always more entertaining if you learn something from it

That is an even more generous compliment. I will most certainly do so and I very much hope to continue enjoying your readership. ^_^

Here's the link to [link] the short story I wanted to show you. It didn't *quite* feel right to put it on dA yet. Yeah...

Would you like my feedback or would you just like my general opinion of it? Either way, I'm game, I just don't want to be intrusive on your process.

Feedback's good. 
General opinion's also good.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Feedback and general opinion you shall get. Both. One and then the other, I would imagine, likely in note form, as soon as I find time.

You should give that song a listen, if you're bored. It's wonderful. There's an English translation on Youtube.

Still haven't finished my !@#$ writing project--but Subway to Sally is now a Pandora channel.

I'll do it if you want me to, but I don't have 11 people I know well enough on here to tag. In fact, you're 1 of 3, the other of whom is already tagged, and the most recent I don't want to presume upon. I'm sorry. :<

Just tag two and be like "YO I'M A REBEL!"
(Side note: I feel like our respective writing styles definitely bleed into our comments, and it always makes me feel a bit silly that you use such proper grammar and lovely language and I'm just like "PARODY WRITER YO!")

I don't consider you to a parody writer. I consider you to be an honest writer. That's more important.

Aw. Thanks, that brings me great joy.

Marie Bellamont brought me here and I am very glad.
Post more stuff!!
Also--what the heck is "Collision" about? O.o?

Thank you and Marie for your kind words and readership!
I'll tell you about "Collision" in my reply to your comment on that piece.
