I have many hobbies including reading, writing, drawing, and playing multiple sports
Writing & Reading
I have written a lot of stories. Some of them are based on stories I have read, but most are original. I am working on one draft right now. I draw a lot of inspiration from other stories, mainly historical fiction, fantasy, and some action. When writing, I prioritize character development and interaction, which often leads to a weaker plot. Most of my stories include magic/something supernatural and have female protagonists.

I am still working on the cover art and final piece of many of my stories. However, in terms of books, I enjoy reading classics like Harry Potter, Pride and Prejudice, Cruel Prince etc. In addition, I also like some other books that typically are fiction. I also enjoy certain works of literal classical literature, like The Color Purple, Crime and Punishment, and The Great Gatsby. I am trying to get into more Eastern works though.
Often, I will read manga/manhwa. My favorite so far has been Bungou Stray Dogs (BSD), which I have finished the manga and greatly enjoyed the manga. I’m looking forward to the rest of the series getting animated by Studio Bones.

Drawing
I have been drawing for a long time. Recently, I’ve been interested in digital art, this is one of my best drawings on the old app I used to use, IbisPaintx. It’s free.
Old drawing of an OC
A lot of drawings are based on characters I have written about or I want to write about.
Lately, I have worked on Procreate instead which costs money. This is one of my better drawings on Procreate:
I am still working on developing my art style and I often still use a reference, so there’s a lot to improve there.
Sports
Basketball
I have played basketball from a very young age and my main teacher was my father. For about a year, I learned at Silver Knights, but most of the time I just practiced at Silver Pines during winter. It is one of my favorite sports and I also have a net set up in my backyard that I use occasionally when its not winter.
Badminton
A lot of my sports are restricted due to my being unable to play many sports during summer. A lot of that will change now that I’ve quite golf competitively.
Similar to basketball, I played badminton and mainly learned from my father. Once again, I mainly practice at Silver Pines during winter. Part of the reason why I play badminton is due to a lot of my friends playing badminton. Recently, I’ve started going to a churches gym to practice badminton with my dad, and I’m okay with it.
Swimming
Swimming is a sport that I started and stopped after I passed level 6.
Volleyball
I joined my school volleyball team and participated in their school tournaments. Part of the reason why I started volleyball was because I watched an anime called Haikyuu and wanted to give it a try.
Tennis
I learned tennis with my friend somewhere around Covid.
