My name is Seth. I was born on January 5, 1996 and I've loved fiction in any form for as long as I can remember. I've been reading since before I was in school, I've probably been watching movies even longer, and I've been playing video games since around four or five years old. As a result of being absorbed in the worlds that are told to me through these mediums, I've been wanting to create my own works of fiction for as long as I can remember, as well.
Writing is something that I love to do. That is, unless it's an essay. Whenever a language arts project comes up that involves writing a short story, I get excited just thinking about what to create. Heck, I even write just for fun sometimes. I'm alright at writing short stories, but novels are my weak point. Whenever I try to write a full-length book, my chapters only end up being two or three pages long and I tend to run out of things to write about. A lot of the things I've written have been lost in the tides of time, but the ones that have been lost are the ones that I wrote at a younger age, when I had hardly any experience writing. The stories I still possess are ones that I'm proud of in some way, shape, or form.
I don't have much experience making movies. My family used to have a video camera that I would record stuff on, but now we only have digital cameras and I never try to film anything. Not that I have all that much time, anyways. I am taking a film class in school, and if I like it I'm going to move on to a four semester long film class that takes up junior and senior year, so I might get more into it. The first and last attempt I remember at making an actual movie was when I tried to make a movie version of the first Pajama Sam game with my sisters several years ago (I think I was at most eight years old).
I've been coming up with game ideas almost as long as I've been playing them. They've developed from complete rip-offs of the games I played into original ideas that may or may not ever be made. I'm not all that satisfied with the games I've created so far, but that's probably because I'm still a beginner and don't have the knowledge to program my favorite ideas of mine. If I keep working at it instead of getting sidetracked by playing games, though, I might be able to finally make my dream games. Right now I'm using Game Maker, and I'm hoping to move on to C++ eventually.
