I am Jeff Engert, a 27 year old aspiring novelist of the fantasy and sci-fi genres. Until recently I was working as a DJ for functions such as wedding receptions and birthday parties.
I’ve also had problems throughout my life with various mental health issues including depression and Social Anxiety. I guess that’s why I tend to be more eloquent in writing than I am vocally. However, it does make it more difficult to put myself out there for jobs, relationships, friendships and other opportunities in life that are so often taken for granted.
I am a die-hard gamer… have been since I first played Super Mario Bros on my grandfather’s NES when I was six. I particularly like strategy and role playing games. I played World of Warcraft for many years, but now my current MMO is Rift.
Though I am Australian, I can’t honestly say I like living here, and so one of my goals involves getting out. No easy thing given how expensive such a process is, and how daunting moving to another country is.
Anyway, this blog is where I explore issues in my life and in the greater society that are causes for anxiety. I will also occasionally share pieces of creative writing whenever I am not stuck with Writer’s Block.
