Well Met

Hello Steemit

My name's Kestutis Kalvaitis and I'm a writer from America (Ohio if anyone cares). I've been a part of the Pulp Revolution for a while, but I've been writing for longer than that. I'm not much on long preambles for myself, but I love myth, space opera, high fantasy, and just about anything with swashbuckling heroics, which is sadly missing in modern storytelling. I'm looking to help change that. I've got a movie/book review blog...thing over here at https://kestifer.blogspot.com/ where I try to post something pertinent every week or so.

Steemit is still a new concept to me, but like the rest of the PulpRev crowd, I intend to use it as a way of exploring short stories and serials; more importantly, working up to Pulp Speed. If writing is exercise, this will be my gym. Diving into classic authors I've heard of but been warned away from by “serious fans” and old masters who have simply been forgotten has been an eye-opener. A. Merritt, Robert E. Howard, Poul Anderson, Edgar Rice Burroughs, and C. L. Moore are some of the biggest influences on me at the moment and I'm grateful to have found them.

That's about all I can think of for the obligatory introductory post. Cheers.
