Christian fantasy writer. Just having fun and telling stories!

[Ryan Bush, Author @ReadWriteRyan96]

Of all the short stories I’ve written, my favorite is Wayfaring Stranger. In this Christian fantasy tale, a simple farmer does battle with evil wizards in his quest to save one scared little girl.

The best part is, the ebook is available for only 99¢!

I sat down to write a play tonight. Wrote a few sentences and then realized I have no clue how to write a play

@uncle_deluge I read Pope’s version of the Iliad last summer and I’m reading his Odyssey now! Fantastic poetry, it really does stand as an excellent work of the English language

The last few weeks, I’ve been doing more labor intensive work & trying to get in shape. It’s quite helpful for my writing - hauling heavy gear uphill is hard work, and not everyone can do it! Good storytellers (like Tolkien) know how hard it is to travel long distances with gear

Gal at church this week asked me if I’d read anything good lately. Boy if THAT isn’t a great question to ask!

Halfway through listening to Dracula!

@DKagemann Well, now I’ve got another pedantic nitpick to add to the list!

[Ryan Bush, Author @ReadWriteRyan96]

I had this exact toy as a kid. I can’t believe they just took something I could find in my toy box and painted it silver!

Give me your best Star Wars nitpicks. No reasonable criticisms or analysis, I'm talking real pedantic here.

@JeffyIsFat As an archaeologist, my favorite prop was the GIANT Folsom point spears they had. The real points are quite a bit smaller, maybe the length of a finger! I’ve found a few Paleoindian points, but no Folsoms yet…

I’m currently reading Alexander Pope’s translation of the Odyssey. My friend is reading Emily Wilson’s version. I really feel like we need to sit down and compare notes after this

@IMAO_ Um, ackchyually, the EU novels explicitly state that Palpatine’s Empire was racist against non-humans! 🤓

[Ryan Bush, Author @ReadWriteRyan96]

Chatting with some folks from church and I mentioned I’d checked out the Odyssey from the library. Guy pointed at me and shouted “AHA! So you’re the one!” Guess he’d tried to check it out as well

Update: I traced the family, found out the owner’s great granddaughter is a neat old lady who lives nearby! Since I ended up with it, she may not have wanted it originally, but I sent an email asking if she wanted it back, just in case it was something she didn’t know about

One of the books in the Hoard had this neat poetic inscription, taken from Lord Byron’s poem “To Thomas Moore”. I’m hoping to find the recipient on genealogy websites and see if they have any living relatives, it’d be a neat thing to give back to the family if they want it!

@StifflinChad @TheWARmonger_ All I can think of is Reggie Jackson trying to kill the queen of England but I don’t know if that movie won an Oscar…

The quote in my book:

Were it the last drop in the well
And I standing on the brink
Ere my fainting spirits fell
Tis to thee that I would drink

@NevinLawrence Haha, I’m originally from one of these regions! Maybe I’d just take the vacation to go visit family and friends for a couple weeks

@AlreadyOverbook Maybe I’ll try it again someday! 15 year old Ryan wasn’t always the smartest fellow

@AbigailFalanga “He looks like a mix between Teddy Roosevelt and William Howard Taft. With maybe some Winston Churchill thrown in”

@LouiseCulmer1 Clearly you’ve never read Shel Silverstein

@nerd_cookies Not a prequel fan, huh?
