About

I don't like writing about myself in third person.

I am Emily J. West.

 

Shortest version: I am a writer. I fuck around with science fiction, fantasy and philosophy too.

Otherwise:

While others collected obscene amounts Pokemon cards and Beanie Babies I collected and wrote words. (I was too poor for mass-marketed trinkets.)

When I was assigned a novel too far below my reading level, I'd "rewrite" the novel in my head as I read it. But I still got a 4.0 my senior year of university.

I won a Philosophy scholarship as a Geography major and everyone (including myself) was confused.

As a consequence of these shenanigans, I've developed a dubious affinity for talking about the forbidden. One day I'll create something that both Asimov and Camus would like. 

 

Or fuck them, I'll do it my way; dead white men be damned.

In addition to the above I have done stints as an entrepreneur, librarian, bartender, historian, farmer, forklift driver, nanny and stay-at-home-wife.

Things of further note, including hobbies:

Daily I drink herbal tea with Eldritch Terrors of all affiliations.

I yap too much about Final Boss Capitalism and how we must prepare.
