still alive baby
about me
martin. male. late 20s. northern minnesota, USA. MFA in creative writing.
i am disabled and chronically ill; when i periodically vanish it's because i'm dealing with that.
open to tag games, questions and prompts, etc, i'm just slow and forgetful lol
about my work
i have three main WIPs that i shift my focus between: wizard novel, vampire novel, and alchemist novel. i typically don't name projects until they're complete.
wizard novel is a grand-scale dark fantasy trilogy with a setting inspired by medieval scandinavia about two men, a misanthropic elven mage and an aimless aging warrior, who are sucked into a conspiracy that forces them to reckon with legacies of violence, their places in a society that discards them, and ultimately what they're willing to sacrifice for the potential of a better world.
vampire novel is a young adult paranormal romance set in a small northern minnesota town in 2009 about a teenage boy who, reeling and isolated after a personal tragedy, meets a strange girl with her own dark past and an obsessive quest to retrieve something from the bottom of the lake.
my greatest influences are the nature writing of robert macfarlane, the fiction of julia fine, katherine addison, and cat valente, fantasy RPGs like dragon age and the elder scrolls, and the films of masaaki yuasa, alex cox, and jane schoenbrun.
about this blog
i don't care who follows me. this blog is occasionally NSFW. my writing contains graphic violence and explicit sex.
i will not follow blogs that post a lot of political issues or current events. this is because i am here to have fun, not to be angry, depressed, homicidal, or suicidal. this will not change. love and light
