Hello there people of Mythic Scribes! My name is Bode and I am a writer and huge fan of fantasy. Allow me to give you some of my story and how I came to be a fantasy writer.
I was blown up by a pyrotechnic charge during a war reenactment that caused me to have a traumatic brain injury. To this day I still suffer with problems from both the injury itself as well as the post traumatic stress that went along with it. It has been a rough few years health wise but I am happy to say that I am still here, though I must admit I am very different from who I was before the accident happened.
For nearly three months after the accident, the doctors told me I couldn't watch television, play video games, or get on the computer. All I had to do was listen to audio books. So, I went to the local library and checked out the Lord of the Rings. It was then that my mind was opened to the endless possibilities of fantasy writing, reading and world building. I still remain grateful to JRR Tolkien for showing me that even though trauma from war (or in my case reenacting it) may change you, you can always use it as inspiration in a fantasy story!
And to this day I love writing and world building. The only problem that gets me down from time to time is a lack of people who are like minded and enjoy writing fantasy as much as I do. I love exchanging ideas and opinions, just as long as no one gets upset! That is why I am here. Hope I can help you along your journey to distant realms and thank you so much for letting me be here. Have a great weekend!
