
Hello class, my name is Eduardo Luengo. I am eighteen years old. I was born in Mexico and
then I moved to the United States at the age of fifteen. I graduated from high school this past
June and now I am enrolled in Creative Writing for Entertainment at Full Sail.
I have always had a knack for creating stories in my mind and telling them to my brothers and
cousins. The first Harry Potter movie was an inspiration for several stories. I always loved every
entry in the saga, but after watching the Prisoner of Azkaban I realized that I couldn’t wait for the
fourth movie to come out. So I decided to start reading the books. I devoured the Goblet of Fire and
the Order of the Phoenix as soon as I got them, and then I had to wait for the Half-blood Prince
book to come out.
Videogames were a huge inspiration as well, but the focus of my narrative is Harry Potter. When I was fourteen years old, after having read every Harry Potter book, I began to plan out my own story. I made outlines, created characters and plotted every event of the story. My first novel was this science-fiction story that I decided to ditch after two times of starting over. To keep this narrative short, I moved to the US when I was fifteen to start high school in Houston, TX. That’s around them time when I ditched my first novel and began writing my current project, called Corvus, which means “crow” in Latin. I have worked on it for more than three years. I wrote it twice. I went through several rounds of editing. This November, for a contest called NaNoWriMo, in which you have to write 50,000 words during the month, I wrote the sequel to Corvus. Now, up to today, I have been looking into several options to self-publish, and hope to finally do so within the next few weeks.
Without Harry Potter, I would probably be still sitting down, not knowing what to do for the rest of my life, and therefore, I would probably have never followed my dreams.
