Line 28: ==Early Life== Summers was born on March 9, 2001 in [[Oklahoma City\|Oklahoma City, Oklahoma]], he is the son of Leslie (Todd) Summers, a realtor and office manager, and Lori Summers, a former nurse at [[Mercy Hospital]]. He described having a ~~difficult, but~~ mostly loving, relationship with his parents. He described a childhood that was mostly good, but had its dysfunctional elements. He said that his relationship with his family inspired a lot of his writing. He attended school at Ralph Downs Elementary School, Hefner Middle School, [[Putnam City North High School]], and [[Oklahoma City Community College]]. He currently attends the [[University of Central Oklahoma]]. He was described by his parents and teachers as being a bright and curious student, having displayed a vast knowledge of history and English. He said that his initial interest in storytelling began with his dad, who he described as the 'damndest anecdotal storyteller that ever was.' His readings of Wikipedia were also an early influence, as he would write down stories like he would read on Wikipedia. He would write stories so much that some of his teachers would get annoyed with him and tell him to stop, with even one getting worried about him because some of the stories that he wrote had violent content in it. He also read widely as a child, reading the works of such authors as [[Mark Twain]], [[H. G. Wells\|HG Wells]], [[Jules Verne]], [[Mary Pope Osborne\|Mary Pope Osbourne]], [[Robert Louis Stevenson]], and [[Charles Dickens]], whom he described as some of the first authors who captured his imagination. Line 86: Summers has also cited music as an influence on his writing, and often incorporates music references into his writing. When asked who some of his favorite current writers are, Summers listed writers such as [[Neil Gaiman]], [[Stephen King]], [[Jeff VanderMeer]], [[Michael Moorcock]], [[China Miéville\|China Mieville]], [[John Green (author)\|John Green]], [[Dennis Lehane]], and [[Joe R. Lansdale]]. ==Comic Book Writing== Line 99: He has stated his biggest influences in comics are [[Alan Moore]], [[Robert Kirkman]], [[Garth Ennis]], [[Warren Ellis]], [[Brian K. Vaughan\|Brian K. Vaughn]], [[Steve Ditko]], [[Brian Azzarello\|Brian Azzerello]], Neil Gaiman, [[Will Eisner]], [[Ed Brubaker]], [[Jeff Lemire]], and [[Scott Snyder]]. ~~==Views on Writing==~~ ~~Summers has been vocal of his influences and his opinions and his approach regarding writing. He said “I don’t pretend to be some great writer. But I have my views on the craft.”~~ ~~Most of his opinions regarding writing were recorded in his reviews.~~ Summers has admitted to having a slight disdain for ‘literary’ writers and for the ‘hierarchy’ in writing that he sees, claiming that genre fiction such as horror, science fiction, and fantasy have also proven to have literary merit as much as the ‘literary’ books do, citing Michael Moorcock, Stephen King, Philip K. Dick, CS Lewis, and Neil Gaiman, among others as examples of this. He’s also criticized the mainstream literary community for not accepting genre fiction among its ranks. He is, however, an admirer of some ‘literary’ authors such as [[William Faulkner]], Charles Dickens, [[John Steinbeck]], Charles Bukowski, Jack Kerouac, [[Flannery O'Connor\|Flannery O’Connor]], Yukio Mishima, and [[Haruki Murakami]]. Though, as of late, he's said that he has let go of this bias and only seeks to enjoy good books, as he feels that's really what matters. He is a supporter of transgressive fiction and has endorsed the works of such transgressive authors such as Irvine Welsh, [[J. G. Ballard\|JG Ballard]], Chuck Palahniuk, and [[William S. Burroughs]], among others. He is also a supporter of the ‘Beat’ movement, having a particular admiration for Jack Kerouac, although also criticizing several Beats, mainly Allen Ginsberg, for their political beliefs. ~~His views on writing aren’t limited, as he also speaks on comics as well as well as prose.~~ Line 658 ⟶ 643: [[Category:Autistic Wikipedians]] [[Category:Wikipedians who like The Sopranos]] ~~[[Category:Wikipedians with Asperger syndrome]]~~ [[Category:Agnostic Wikipedians]] [[Category:Wikipedians interested in philosophy]]
