Marisha loves gaming on the Wii. Her primary
joy in writing is historical fiction and fantasy but has recently begun
to take an interest in the cyberworld. When it comes to Cyberpunk, Marisha
believes that the most important aspect of the plot is that people can
believe they are part of the scene: they feel a sense of the character
being trapped. She likes to develop the reader’s skepticism in what the
characters are thinking and saying. Marisha feels that the characters
thoughts and feelings should be common enough for all to acknowledge. She
especially likes to focus on mundane parts of characters lives that are
often over looked, but give clues to the characters' emotional state. When
it comes to horror, Marisha enjoys writing graphic images and shocking
scenes. She likes the images to be quick and concise like video games. |
