[ OT ] What do you as a writer self-identify your writing style as ?

As far as genre goes I lean towards hard sci-fi. I also like to write apocalyptic/dystopic stuff. My religious beliefs sometimes find their way into my works, but it's usually all ( an outright Christian story ) or nothing. People have mused about religion in written works to heck and back, we do n't need another one. I like writing about teens/young adults surviving in the absence of adult and social structure ( think *Hatchet*, *My Side of the Mountain*, and to an extent more recent books like *The Hunger Games* and *Divergent* ). When doing a longer, serious story I try to explore philosophical/moral questions based on the actions of the characters. I have a bent for more pessimistic, morose storylines. I've been told my more hard sci-fi works are similar to Asimov and Clarke, which makes me really happy.
