Who... me?
Hello there,
So you wish to learn more about me eh? Funny that, because that’s what this section is. And I guess that’s why you clicked on it, because of the title. Only thing that could make it more obvious is a big ol’ neon sign flashing the alphabet. Wait where was I?
Anyway-
Who/What/When/Where/Why
The Who is me. I am Alexander Stormsong by my pen name, or if you want to go behind the scenes, I go by Alexander Blackheart of the Blackheart Family.
The What… some kind of Dark Angel from the Underworld. Part Draconic, possibly ‘demon’ as the mortals might say, dunno. Or shall I say that I do know but I am opting to not share much.
When and Where I don’t know what to tell you. What year is it? Where am I? Get me out of here!!
A Fantasy Author
I am the mastermind behind several projects from over the years as I have been at this for a considerably long time. Now I could give you the canonical answer but in terms you may understand, I have been writing since I was but a lad in the 5th Grade (yes, that far back… is it far back? What is my age? Like I’d say). I am certainly beyond the point of not being a minor so I have had quite the time to get accustomed to writing- albeit I have a lot left ahead of me.
My style is definitely Eastern, in the sense that I want to focus more on the characters and build them, versus focusing primarily on the plot at hand and cutting any of the content not necessary to the plot.
Origins
My origin… I am of a United origin in the land of Mini-Sodas (that’s all you get). Farm raised for practically my whole life and no- I would NOT trade it for city life.
But that’s just my mortal tether’s lore and that’s nowhere near as cool. I’ve basked in the Underworld for many many years amongst family and friends. I have watched civilization after civilization fall. I have seen the true depths of despair and the inferno of chaos… and to some extent I embrace it.
What’s that, more on my lore? Well, perhaps I will include that another time…
My Tech Setup
This might seem odd to put in but what sort of hardware and software am I rocking? Well I’ve got a PC I built years ago and a Lenovo Ideapad 3.
The PC has the works of its time. 32GB Ram, MSI Board, AMD 8-core Chip, thing was built for gaming. It’s rocking Windows 10 currently and likely has no future with 11. It is what I use to stream usually.
All my writing and video editing I do with the laptop, always been that way. I’ve been rocking Linux (Mint specifically) for a decade now. I use LibreOffice as my main novel writer, 100%. I used to use KATE for my notes but now I use Obsidian Editor and OnlyOffice… because tabs are nice.
Other Things I Do
What else do I do? Eh… I used to go out on conquests for my old man, putting rebellions down. Now I just sit around and do my thing.
Nah though I don’t do much. Farming stuff I guess, I stream when I have the house to myself (when I feel motivated/aren’t busy). What, you want more?
Not happening. This is what you get!!
There really isn’t much else to say about me. Not for who I am or what I do- nothing worth sharing anyway. But perhaps in time if you follow along, you’ll get to know me better: both my mortal tether AND my true self.
