My First Post - An Introduction From Me To You

When you consider how long I’ve been writing and compare that to how much I’ve actually produced, you’re confronted with a sad commentary on my creative life for the last eighteen or so years. True, I’m only twenty four but when I look back I realise all the time I could of spent writing and creating, I was off doing something unproductive and irrelevant to my future.

My name is Finn Nyx, only it is not. That is the name I’ve chosen, not the name I was given. It turns out one might choose a name much like they might choose a new sweater or fancy cardigan. They might not necessarily choose to used said name, but the most you can do is encourage or ignore them.

I’ve always love reading, and so writing was a natural progression to me. I remember writing my first piece in year three which was a poem I wrote just after my great grandfather had died. It was a terrible little piece, lamenting the death of a man I had barely known before the weeks leading up to his death.

I read all sorts at that age, I remember being fond of knights, dragons, spaceships and pirates - So it was always going to be fantasy for me. Sure enough I was soon digesting Tolkien, Rowling, Brooks, Adams, Gaiman, Paolini and Snicket to name a few. Shakespeare came soon after and when he did, he hit hard and fast.

Comics also became a big thing, my first love being Spider-Man. This was followed by X-Men and Batman, which was long before I knew the difference between Marvel and DC. I worked my way round to Watchmen, V For Vendetta and Maus - Quickly reasoning with myself what an important format this was.

As you might assume, Films became important to me at a young age. I was quite lucky because my Mum gave me the emotional education via Disney and the softer content whilst visits to my Dad’s had me watching action, adventure and on occasion, horror. I had the best of all worlds when it came to storytelling, with wonderful range.

When I reminisce about those days, I realise that for better or worse, storytelling is what I like and it’s also what I intend to do. Of course I need a place to do that, which is where Tumblr comes in.

I plan on using this blog for most things. I want to share my notes, my work, excerpts from my journal, the work of others that I appreciate, anything else I might create and any photography along the way. I certainly hope you’ll come along for the ride.

I like to think of myself as quite a social person, I love meeting new people so consider this my introduction. Feel free to hit me up in my public ask box here on Tumblr, tweet me at @finnnyx92 or maybe email me at contactfinnnyx@gmail.com and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can. I’m also interested to hear about your blogs too!

Until the next time - I remain,

Finn Nyx
