Someone who wants to get better

Heya there fellow members. I guess I should share the basics of who I am. People online call me Story and it is sort of what I've grown used to on the internet. I'll continue to go by that while I am here. Plus it seems an appropriate theme for these boards.

I consider myself a storyteller at heart. I have been involved in the arts since I have been able to hold a pencil. I have drawn and written for so long I don't remember at what age I started. I watch television series and films, read comics, and play video games. Books however are something I swallow whole. Novels are my favorite form of story. It is only a shame I don't have nearly as much time to read as I used to. I like fictional works best, mainly science fiction and fantasy. I enjoy the idea of escaping the real world and experiencing something you could never otherwise. Plus these are the things that inspire and motivate mankind and I love being a part of it.

I wrote tons when I was a preteen and as I grew I started painting and designing characters and creature more. I went to school for animation and currently am finishing my demo reel so I can get a job creating 3D character models. Though I am good at it people still seem to enjoy my own story concepts and characters. Honestly I get my biggest kicks out of creating my own worlds. It isn't the same working for someone else though I do that just fine.
I want more of a creative outlet. I would like to get back into writing so I can let everything cluttered in my head organize itself on paper. Maybe I can combine these skills and create an animated short or series of my own. To finish a novel or two would be ideal.

Since I don't know a lot of writers or anyone who would be ideal to look at my work and give awesome critique I came here.Hopefully I can learn and grow. Perhaps I can even share something here that someone will enjoy.
