I used to write. I can come up with lots of scenarios at any time. I also tend to overthink most anything, so its both a gift and a curse. Sometimes when I write, i describe something to the point that the reader goes "Good god, where is the actual story here?" and then sometimes I describe something so vaguely that the reader says something like "wtf is this? What the hell is he describing?". That was about the time that I should become a game designer. With all the ideas for mechanics and stories and levels floating around in my head, i figured that I should put it to use and provide other people with good games.
I am beginning to ramble a little. So yes, I am technically a writer. I've written a book, however, it isn't published because I am not done yet(i've been working on it for almost 3 years now >.>...oh and I am terrified of sending it to a publisher). I like to write in my free time, if and when I have it.
