My name is Ryan, I’m 21 years old and am currently attending college for Law Enforcement. I have been writing, in some form or another, since I was about 16 years old. A majority of my works are poetry, but my true passion is novel writing. Nearly a year ago I began undertaking a huge, 5 novel long writing project entitled “Republika”. I have posted certain excerpts on Urbis so that I can obtain a better understanding of my flaws as a writer.

My name is Ryan, I’m 21 years old and am currently attending college for Law Enforcement. I have been writing, in some form or another, since I was about 16 years old. A majority of my works are poetry, but my true passion is novel writing. Nearly a year ago I began undertaking a huge, 5 novel long writing project entitled “Republika”. I have posted certain excerpts on Urbis so that I can obtain a better understanding of my flaws as a writer.
Right now, school envelopes a massive amount of my personal life, with work trailing not far behind, so every bit of spare time is pumped into my current novel, Republika: The Fierside Massacre. My inspiration is rooted in both military science fiction and standard science fiction. My first ever piece was written after a combination of experiencing the phenom known as Starcraft and the movie Starship Troopers. I really like Robert Heinlein and Edgar Alan Poe, both of which have inspired my works in various forms or another. I view myself as open to most every type of writing but my favorites are Action, SciFi, Military SciFi, Rhyming Poetry, and certain types of Fantasy. Need to know more? Just ask.
I also feel the need to plead with Urbis users on this: if you’re going to review a piece of my work, don’t waste my time by copying a whole paragraph and throwing in three little sentences about how you liked it. Nothing annoys me more then spending 300+ credits to see a chunk of my own writing with three little lines about how you enjoyed it. I know the paragraph, trust me I wrote it, don’t abuse the system by using the paragraph to beef up your credits. If you’re going to do this, don’t bother reviewing my piece because I will ask for a refund immediatly. I’m here to obtain pointers to polish a serious novel, not see my own work with a little tag line. Thank you.
