Hey guys, I'm Eli Guidry, I'm 15 years old, and I'm a rising sophomore. I come from a little town in central Georgia named Perry (it's a little south of Macon).
I enjoy reading (mostly science fiction and satire), writing (mostly fiction, I entered the Scholastic Art and Writing Awards and won Silver at the Regional level for the category of Science Fiction/Fantasy, if you don't mind me bragging a bit), and listening to music (I really enjoy alternative and indie). I also draw a little.
In addition I also play piano and keep bees.
I'm hoping to get my school newspaper off the ground (I'm editor-in-chief, mostly by default), and that's part of why I'm here. Naturally I also want to improve as a writer, as well as get a taste of the college experience.
I love that you love science fiction and fantasy! Those might be my favorite genres to read. What books are your current favorites?
ReplyDeleteI really love Kurt Vonnegut (who I'm reading now), as well as Chuck Palahniuk (he wrote Fight Club, which I thought was amazing).
DeleteI also like H.G. Wells.
In terms of favorite books, I'd have to say Fight Club, the Time Machine, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Slaughterhouse-Five, Catch-22, and 1984.
Vonnegut is GREAT. I actually have purposefully avoided Fight Club because I was feeling squeamish when it had just come out.
