| Bio: | People who visit this journal I bid you welcome. My name is Michael "Mick" Edwards. I'm 27 years old and I'm an aspiring novelist/ comic writer who is very opinionated. I have written all sorts of fan fiction ranging from Alternate Marvel's the Shocker series(removed from site) to my last series, which was JLU2001's Titans. My most controversial and successful work was the appropriately formed Outsiders, which has been taken over by a great writer and one of the few friends I have. I'm an avid reader and as posted below I read quite a variety of different works. Currently, I have started several professional projects that I am working with intentions of getting published. And I am planning on entering the Writers Of The Future Contest in the Fourth Quarter. Major Writing Influences: Brian Michael Bendis, Frank Miller, J. Michael Straczynski, and John Byrne. Secondary Writing Influences: Chris Claremont, R.A. Salvatore, Terry Pratchett, Geoff Johns, Brian Augustyn, Marv Wolfman, Denny O' Neil, Stan "The Man" Lee, Steve Englehart, Steven Niles, Len Wein, Gerry Conway, Roy Thomas, Judd Winick, Ed Brubaker, Mark Millar, Barry Reese, Curt Fernlund, Brian K. Vaughn, Chuck Dixon, Grant Morrison, Akira Toriyama, and Warren Ellis. Writing Philosophy: Contemporary Working Within The Genres Of: Noir, Crime Fiction, Drama, and Fantasy. Your like John Byrne... your more for the characters then the contunity - Jason Trenner You are a good writer Mick, and really show a lot of potential when you knuckle down and try. - Curt Fernlund Use no way as way, no limitation as limitation. Use only that which works, and take it from any place you can find it. - Bruce Lee Never write a scene that does not contribute to your plot. Don't look in on your characters, like a nosy neighbor. Go to them only when they're doing or saying something important. The great Russian short-story writer and playwrite Anton Chekhov said that if you have a gun above the mantelpiece in Act One, be sure to shoot it before the final curtain falls. Otherwise, it will only serve to distract the audience. - Dennis O'Neil You're like John Byrne. You like to think big and you can see the big picture. You also write women like Byrne. - Steve Crosby Nostalgia is contempt for the future. - Brian Michael Bendis They told us not to wish in the first place, not to aspire, not to try; to be quiet, to play nice, to shoot low and aspire not at all. They are always wrong. Follow your dreams. Make your wishes. Create the future. And above all, believe in yourself. That is the lesson of Babylon 5. - J. Michael Straczynski In the world of comic books, "troublemaker" means someone who has some sense of dignity. - Frank Miller The best thing about writing fiction is that moment where the story catches fire and comes to life on the page, and suddenly it all makes sense and you know what it’s about and why you’re doing it and what these people are saying and doing, and you get to feel like both the creator and the audience. Everything is suddenly both obvious and surprising (’but of course that’s why he was doing that, and that means that…’) and it’s magic and wonderful and strange. You don’t live there always when you write. Mostly it’s a long hard walk. Sometimes it’s a trudge through fog and you’re scared you’ve lost your way and can’t remember why you set out in the first place. But sometimes you fly, and that pays for everything. - Neil Gaiman A writer's obligation is to their story and their characters, not to some outside agenda decided on by individuals who don't actually read the work, but just look for images to find offensive. - Ed Brubaker This is a list of my past and current fan fic accomplishments Alternate Exiles #38-#46 (Canceled) JLU's Outsiders #1-#9 JLU's Titans #5-#12 including Annual #1 Showcase #11 Ultimate X-Men #1-#8 (removed from site) Tales of Pendragons X-Men #30, #38, #39, #41,#43, #44 Avengers Reborns Young Avengers #1-#9 (Canceled) Avengers Reborns Amazing Spider-Man #1-#16 (Canceled) Batman -- Case of the Copy Bat Killer #1-#6 BATMAN -- SALVATION #1-#4 Iron Man 2.0 #1-4 (Canceled) The Ultimate Avengers First Genesis #1-4 (removed from site) Ultimate Spider-Man First Genesis #1-#31 Including Annual #1 The Outsiders #0-#4 All-Star Superman #1-#11 Project A-Next #7-#9 | ||
