Good morning, world!

Howdy! My name is Ryan Burton. I identify as your average nerd. I love video games, cartoons, anime, comic books, action figures, and anything else that would fall under said title. I'm a junior at Reinhardt University working on a creative writing major. What do I hope to do with that major, you might ask? Well, I plan to do exactly what it sounds like: write. Writing is my passion. I feel like I was put on this earth to write and tell stories. I've never published anything before, but I am working on a samurai story that I hope to turn into a novel as well as plenty of ideas in my head waiting to be written down. With that said, I'd like to consider writing to be one of my better skills.

Picture of me with a national hero. Also, despite the name of this blog, my beard is a little more than slightly trimmed.

Media plays a huge role in my life. As I stated above, I identify as a nerd. I love all kinds of nerdy stuff and I make a point to check various news websites for information on the latest video game, comic, or whatever is the next big thing happens to be. Outside of creative writing, I've been considering a minor is journalism. Needless to say, I love nerdy news. I try to stay on top of the latest happenings in the nerd world. Each week, I host a podcast where I get to express my love to both media and the news regarding it. I would love to make writing about the media my career path while I work on writing stories.
