Who Am I?
So, who is Angelo Bain? Good question. I suppose I am many things to many different people.
As a writer, I do not feel like I am genre locked. I am an individual who isn't afraid to venture out into unknown territory, find a grain of sand, and make a castle out of it. What can be thought, can be written.
"To test the limits of the reader's imagination, first you have to test the limits of your own."
I believe this to be true. I've had to step outside of what I imagined I could write and embrace what I dreamed about writing. A lot of research goes into my stories, a ton actually. Because I always want the content and the flow to be just right. Oh, the curse of the writer. It seems like the end result is never good enough, always lacking in something. Could I have added better descriptors, unbelievable
situations, or possibly an added twist that would sucker punch you right between the eyes? Anything? My stories have gone through many, many different rewrites because of this curse. Each one I write is my escape. A place where the impossible can be possible. At times I feel like I could get lost in my newly created world and stay there until the very last page is written. But unfortunately, life still begs to be lived. I seem to have more ideas than time to write them all down. Inspiration can come at any time of day. Sometimes it's merely just a concept or two but other times it can be full blown dialog that requires pulling off to the side of the road to jot down before losing. I pour some of myself into the stories I write as well as some of the sayings, quirks, and characteristics of those around me. So, be forewarned if you talk to me, a part of you might just end up in my next work.
â
As a person, I enjoy being outdoors. Just point me to the lake or river where I can cast my pole or float my kayak. I enjoy finding the path, be it dirt or paved. Whether it is journeyed by two wheels, two wheels and a motor, 4, or simply on foot. And if I can talk my wonderful wife into joining me, BONUS. Music is an enormous part of my mental psyche. My interest stretches from one side of the spectrum to another. You name it, metal, country, classical, blues, hip hop, whatever, it all inspires me, not only in what I write but in life, in general.
As a husband, I am fortunate to have married my best friend. She makes my everyday a million times better and I am so thankful for her.
â
As a parent, I am blessed with several little rug rats who have grown up and have some of their own. I love you all.
â
As a friend, well, what to say about this one? I hope I make you laugh and I am someone you are proud to know as trustworthy and positive.
