alright, let's start with my resume`:
McKenzie Meredith
Age: 18
IQ: through the roof
Wit: sharper than any edged object you care to think of.
Appearance: Breathtaking sums it up. apart from that, the most distinguishing feature would be the fact that i have blonde hair and a really red beard. naturally. no dye involved.
my favorite authors are as follows:
Tolkien wrote the book on fantasy, literally.
ludlum wrote the book on spies, also literally.
Clancy taught the world that a functional knowledge of military hardware and politics actually makes for good reading.
Costain, who wrote the black rose, possibly my favorite book of all time.
Frank Peretti and Ted Dekker, who pioneered and surrealized (respectively) christian fiction.
Jacques (Brian) and redwall, john erickson and hank the cowdog, my childhood would've been bland without you.
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, who taught me that to think is the coolest thing a guy can do.
G.A. Henty, Who taught me that the telling of stories is something anyone can do, and who also taught me that history is the most fascinating subject one can study.
Jim Butcher, who taught me in a very short time span that fantasy may be for nerds, but being a nerd isn't all that bad.
Stephen Hunter, who taught me that the greatest heroes will always be the strong silent type. oh yeah, and they also carry a gun.
Anthony Horowitz, who filled my childhood mind with exploding gameboys and Walkman skillsawz.
Elisabeth Elliot, who taught me that through god, all things can be met with peace.
that's all i can think of right now, with the Exception of God, who through his one very influential publication taught me how to live forever. i'm pretty sure i owe him one for that...
music influences my writing at times too, and i can't list all my faves here, so let me just say, i like everything from classical to pop to rock to metal, a dash of country, a hint of piano ballads, and always, always relient K and FM Static, if only for the memories.
my preferred style of writing is action. i'm fascinated by combat in all of its forms. although i've been told that my one attempt at a love story is quite good.
i'm a journalism/poly-sci major, headed to A&M this fall. i write constantly, if not always well. but hey, i love it, so it doesn't matter if i'm good. i like to use big words in ways they weren't meant to be used. i'm also a self declared master of metaphor. so watch out.
if you've never read anything of mine, do me a favor and avoid "Firestorm" cause it sucks. "Turgon's Quest" is downright strange as well. any of the more recent writing is decent though, so please, read something.
