Hello,
I'm American and live in the United States, but I don't live anywhere particularly interesting. I mostly read dystopias, litrpg, science fiction, and fantasy. Sometimes I'll read a book just to see why it's banned or why everyone hates it even though it sold millions of copies. Dune, Hunger Games, Foundation, Scythe, and Altered Carbon are some of my favorite books. I'm the type who didn't like LOTR, but enjoyed Game of Thrones. I prefer reading about anti-hero, tormented protagonists who struggle not fitting into society's expectations. My current work is something I would describe as a mystery/crime/ thriller where John Wick meets the witch part 1 subversions(this is an asian movie) meets Hanna. Lately I'm reading more litrpg. I don't usually rush too read something without a fantastical or surreal element because I read to escape reality and write for the same reasons. However, I occasionally read outside my preferred genres to expand my horizons.
One thing I've learned about writing so far is that what I imagined in my head doesn't always get to the page and I can't always see that. But I do try and take every criticism in stride and learn from it to become a better writer. After all, it's more of a marathon than a sprint.
