A Little About Me

By AtAvi5t_Ev3Nt · Sep 13, 2011 · ·
  1. This originally started as the biography entry on my profile in this forum. I figured I would share a little about me and why I want to write.

    My name is Sean. I was born and raised in Nebraska. My father was enlisted in the US Air Force and my mom was... well, mom. I enlisted into the US Army after high school and have been around the world more times than I can remember and in combat more times than I can forget. I have a half-brother who I will probably never know and is one year older than my oldest child, and an older sister. I have three children, two dogs, three cats, and one horse. And, of course, I have a wife. I love my God, my family and my country. (Yes, in that order.) I am happy and humbled to be who I am and where I am. I like to think I have a large enough imagination for the both us; Lord knows it's gotten me into more trouble than I'd like to admit. And that's why I want to write. I want to write because I believe I have an affinity (albeit unrefined) to describe and convey the human element in words. I feel I can contribute with my writing because writing has always been a part of my life. From the first summer I told my mother I was bored and she told me to read a book. Of course, I couldn't choose my own novel, I was only eight. So my mom chose two for me. Richard Bach's Jonathan Livingston Seagull and Bram Stoker's Dracula. After those, I couldn't put a book down. People have lived and died in my stories. Impossible events and great adventure have befallen the many characters I have brought to life. Unfortunately, I've never shared their stories. I hope this endeavor will enable me to finally put their lives and their stories into written words for the enjoyment and hopefully, the betterment of whosoever turns the page.

    i love your writing style here. especially the lines "have been around the world more times than I can remember and in combat more times than I can forget" "I have a half-brother who I will probably never know and is one year older than my oldest child" and "People have lived and died in my stories. Impossible events and great adventure have befallen the many characters I have brought to life."
    i don't know if you meant it to sound beautiful or simply wrote a factual summary, but that's what stood out to me. I'm sure you have a lot of stories to tell and plenty of fodder for new ones with your travels and career. good luck!
