My Avatar comes from MrTim on DeviantArt:

I try to be a very reserved writer. The internet helped shape me into a great writer, because people on the internet will be very insensitive of your work as they do not know you. I have had my spirits shattered and have been depressed because of this in the past, like any real writer should have to go through to become a good one.
Now, I go as far as to call myself a wonderful writer. This may be very true, or perhaps I have clouded my mind with my own arrogance so much that I do not realize how pathetic I am? Regardless, I do believe I am fantastic at the style I do things in.
However, I have mostly put the days of sharing my writing via internet behind me. This is because I have ascended to a point where I do not need approval of others greatly. There was a time where I blatantly shared my work on the internet, and then I finally realized how low the structure of things are on certain literature-sharing websites. People constantly asking "Read and rate one of my stories, and I will read and rate yours." instead of actually reading others' stories without the need of that silly deal. When I realized it was a mundane dogma of unsurity and approval-seeking, I quit.
There may be certain circumstances I will share writing on Deviant Art in the future.
I go by James Alder only on the internet. One of my real names is "Strong Eagle" as an Indian name I earned when I was fifteen. This is the reason for the Eagle avatar.
Call me James or StrongEagle.
