Hi, I'm Gabriel Duncan and I'm 20 years old. I live in San Francisco, California. My influences include: Mark Kendrick, Chuck Palahniuk, Frank Herbert and Sherman Alexie. What do you want me to write here, Dude? I wrote my second novel, Just Don't Think I'm Not, when I was 14. It's a story about trust and confusion. I started writing my first novel With Scott when I was 12, a few weeks before I came out to my parents. It was about an idealized relationship I wanted to find.
I ran from public middle school into a private alternative high
school to "escape the persecutions of an intolerant
environment". There, I continued to hone my writing. I wrote
stories about anthropomorphic mates Loki and JC, a virus called
Sethoran [set-tor-on] that escaped a bio-weapon engineering
facility, a vignette about a Cowboy with a dark past,.
When I was 15, I was raped and I learned the power of poetry.

In Untitled BART poem, I revealed what happened to myself. In The Gang Rape Show, I conquered fear and mastered rage. I've battled depression in prose for this latter half of my life. Most notably in I'm Falling. ![]()
My poems are more numerous than my stories. My poetry is me, I guess.
While my writing is my imagination. Sometimes people ask me if some
things in my story have actually happened. Most particularly, the
darkest things I have written of yet in the parts of my series Angel i
have sent exclusively to Dude. ![]()
And that is what I strive for. My motivation is your suspension of
disbelief. I want you to wonder every time. Is it over now? Did that
happen? What happens next? ![]()
The biggest compliment I can ever get from a reader, "When will you
write more?" ![]() |
