Hello, fellow traveller. I’ve hosted a small personal blog for a while, over at my altar ego, inhonoredglory, but a lot has changed since I started posting online over a decade ago. I’ve had a wonderful experience online, mostly from my interactions with fandom on sites like Tumblr, deviantArt, and YouTube. I met so many friends, experienced the most debilitating bouts of depression and the most rapturous wonders of joy. I’ve written stories that people loved, shared my passions with like-minded nerds, and became the self I want to be—all without setting stepping outside my computer screen.
I will always be more myself inside my head and in writing than I can ever be outside of it. Perhaps that’s why I need to be an artist—to let others know who I truly am. My first love is animation, inspired as I was by How to Train Your Dragon (2010) and the love I poured into that fandom. Today, I love storytelling and myth-making in any medium: novels, comics, and film. Sometimes I feel that my interests and potential abilities are so wide, so eclectic, that I could never be an expert at any one thing. And then I look to my current artistic hero, Neil Gaiman, and think, It just takes passion and hard work.
I don’t always have enough of either (that nagging depression keeps feeding off my energy), but I know where I want to go, and I know I need to be disciplined to make that vision come true.
I hope you enjoy following my journey here. I decided to christen my new online presence “Studio Glory” (nom de plume I. H. Glory) because this is what I hope to become: a creator of many things, and a champion of the magic of storytelling in all mediums. Studio Glory is a place where I, and others, can come and create, and create anything. Because stories come in all mediums, and in all expressions, and I will always want to write, draw, and otherwise experiment, to find the best way to tell them.
