How Evil Are You?

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I'd like to meet with other authors, artists (illustrators & photographers), filmmakers who are serious about their work & their chosen muse! I want to exchange ideas and information about what's happening in and around the publishing business, in the world of horror-suspense-mystery fiction, to share impressions and experiences of what it's like to be a working author, and to just, basically, not feel like I have to work in a vacuum (face it, folks, writing is a predominantly solitary pursuit --- it's not very glamorous at all)!

I'm a straight-shooter, so no thin skins or super-sensitive prima donna egos need reply...

::What kind of Samurai you are?::
Yamato Spirit You are Yamato Spirit. You are the most elder and the most natural samurai. Elder rules and only your own experience is your beacon in this dangerous world. You think globally. Local deals are not important for you. You work very hard to gather experience. You can command people. You can tell them the truth. You can call them and they will obey and follow you in any battle. Actually you are more than samurai.

You Should Be a Science Fiction Writer
Your ideas are very strange, and people often wonder what planet you're from.
And while you may have some problems being "normal," you'll have no problems writing sci-fi.
Whether it's epic films, important novels, or vivid comics...
Your own little universe could leave an important mark on the world! What Type of Writer Should You Be? Which Tarot Card Are You?
You are the Justice card. Justice preserves the harmony of the world. Working with opposite forces, Justice does not seek to criticize or condemn but rather to accept. The idea behind the card justice is that opposite forces are complementary; you could not have good without evil or light without darkness. Justice's position is to make sure that if a thing is out of balance, the weight of its energy is realigned with its opposite force. This card is also a card of humour, for it is in pointing out contrary positions that humour is often found. The attitude that is found in the humourous person, being able to shift perspective and flow with an instinct, is important in the maintenance of good balance.
