Joaquim spends a little too much time talking about writing and not enough time actually doing it — but he’s working on that. His influences range from classics like 1984, The Catcher in the Rye, and the Ender series to nontraditional sources like Final Fantasy VII, Final Fantasy X, and The Elder Scrolls. He writes stories meant to challenge, provoke, and stay with you.
