M.L. Rowan. A name synonymous with complaining about back pain while collecting hobbies that require you to be hunched over like a shrimp while you engage with them.Why yes, you DO need to sit like this to write. It's what engages the creative process.M.L. Rowan loves to write fast-paced, exciting, and most importantly, loud fiction across a spectrum of genres, whether that be sci-fi, fantasy, horror, or romance. The most exciting part about writing is the "Yes, and," nature of drafting. No spectacle is worth writing unless it is jaw-dropping, and no emotional beat is complete until it is gut-punching.While not writing, they can be found hunched over on their couch knitting with their partner and two cats, or diving into obscure metal albums while fighting Dark Souls bosses and impatiently waiting for the next wave of inspiration to strike.
