When I was a little child I loved to spend time watching cartoons all day, seeing how funny, ridiculous and random they get, reason to be a huge fan of the Looney Tunes, but after a time I started to be more aware of plots and characterization that before and I remember that every time a series had something that I didn’t like it, it write versions of how I would like it. Like when some cool character is no much time on screen or don’t get its own history, there was me, with a notebook, some cookies and good attitude
The first time I’ve tried something like that was in the “Danny Phantom” era, were the premise of some interesting series about the adventures of a guy that turns himself into a ghost with awesome superpowers was everything’s kid joy. In dis show, some character called “Wolf” appears a couple of times, acting in a mysterious and primitive way. It was a werewolf with phantom superpowers and a hoodie, who need more than that? I liked the character so much that I’ve tried to imagine histories were he could be in, and even I copy that character to my own and childish histories, making a group of superheroes with my friends about a super werewolf, a dragon man and a mimic. In that time the idea fills me in a way that was more than merely entertaining, so I tried to make a true story out of it, but I was too young to do it correctly.
Also I used to draw my own comics about something called “Heorshe C”, because it was a creature with no gender that uses the C as an identifier. It had the Grinch’s body and a cannon head and his adventures were just simple and classic cartoons like. I even made more than 3 numbers out of the idea, but was a strange idea after all. I didn’t know back then, but I wanted to become a writer. At the beginning I thought that I want to make videogames (thing that isn’t necessary a lie and even make me study Computer Engineering as a career) and get to think in many ideas of plenty of games, but I was too blind to know that what I was doing was making histories.
After I started my studies I start reading more comics, learning and understanding how it was be an artist of this art. My attention suddenly started to become even greater to details and character development, plot management and narrative techniques, so I started to write. Writing I felt I’m really able of creating something, not taking something else and just transforming it, but I still studying my career because being an artist is quite a difficult task. This of course is even harder in a country like Venezuela, where I’m in. Because of it, I’ve had problems of motivation and goal-reaching tasks, but managed to write different stories, fiction or not fiction, I love to find new ways of explore point is view and develop histories that give a new fresh air in people’s mind.
Now I’ve find Steemit, the quick response of the public, the votes, the profits, I can finally use my talent to help my family in our economic issues, without affecting my career and giving me the opportunity of overcome this country situation, finally writing as a job and now and more motivated than ever, all thanks to the readers and my girlfriend to giving me this idea. So… Thanks Steemit! I will do my best!
