When originally bringing my list, I thought about all the action stories I have made and did not consider some of the slice of life stories I am planning in my head.

I don't know if I want to write about MYSELF persay cause...personal and stuff. However, I do want to explore themes of loss, grief, PTSD, and depression since I did go through all that. Maybe mix it in with a dark romance Slice of Life story this time...

An incredible story is a story with a complex layering of narrative and metanarrative. It's a story with a plot that can be reasonably easy to follow on the surface that explodes as you read deeper into the various elements of how it was constructed as a craft and as an art. The structure of a story is its artistic value, where the plot is its entertainment value.

Pretty much all of my stories have a deeply psychological construct built into them. I don't generally tell simple entertaining stories, I like to dig as deep as I can into the characters until it hurts to watch. I'm compelled toward cerebral storytelling. The common tone across my stories is probably bittersweet--nothing is perfect and life is hard, but hope and strong character will keep you going.
