edit data

With a master’s degree social work, A.J. Braun loves to explore how people make sense of their world, relationships, and themselves. This, in combination with their deep love for the fantasy genre, inspired Braun to start their storytelling journey on the written page. When they’re not writing, you can also find Braun hanging out with their spouse and friends, cuddling their two black cats, participating in local sport leagues, and playing D&D into the wee hours of the night.

A.J.’s Quotes

“Life is suffering. It is hard. The world is cursed. But still, you find reasons to keep living.”
― Hayao Miyazaki

57 likes

“Many of my movies have strong female leads- brave, self-sufficient girls that don't think twice about fighting for what they believe with all their heart. They'll need a friend, or a supporter, but never a savior. Any woman is just as capable of being a hero as any man.”
― Hayao Miyazaki

“I’ve become skeptical of the unwritten rule that just because a boy and girl appear in the same feature, a romance must ensue. Rather, I want to portray a slightly different relationship, one where the two mutually inspire each other to live - if I’m able to, then perhaps I’ll be closer to portraying a true expression of love.”
― Hayao Miyazaki

“I do believe in the power of story. I believe that stories have an important role to play in the formation of human beings, that they can stimulate, amaze and inspire their listeners.”
