Post #1-Introduction

Hi, my name is Mauricio Muniz. I was born in the Bronx, NY, but my family moved to Florida before settling for Vineland, NJ. I'm in my final year of majoring in English and Journalism. Since reading and writing has always been a significant part of my life, I want to get into that field. Anything that has to do with publishing is what I aim for, but preferably with a publishing house. And down the road I plan on devoting time to creative writing. I don't have much experience aside from an internship I had with a small publishing group based in South Jersey called Silent Noise Publishing.

As for my inspiration, I think The Godfather (and the sequel) wins it. They're not just an amazing movies, but an amazing movie that capture the American dream. The themes are universally applicable and every time I return to that movie I learn. It's a loaded film that withstands the test of time. It's about new and old, family values and individualism, morality, religion, love, brotherhood, betrayal, the immigrant struggle, and plenty more. And on it's still a hero's journey.
