Michael Blackwood is an assistant professor at Korea University. He currently lives in Seoul, South Korea, and enjoys writing, watching movies, playing guitar and camping. When it comes to writing, Michael primarily likes to write in the genre of magical realism*. Michael finds the most challenging part of writing to be choosing which work to begin next. The ideas are held at bay in his mind as a dam holds back the force of water. Choosing where to allow a release is the trickly prickly part.
