Author has written 3 stories for Fantasy, General, and Song.
College student, journalist, scribbler, apprentice of the writer's trade, a lackey of the English language. That about sums it up.

Advice to all: Think long, work hard, write well.

Well, I don't think I can waste anymore space on myself without feeling really arrogant, so I'll give the remaining 0s and 1s to a more-practiced pen than mine.

A few words of wisdom from the late, great Douglas Adams:

How should prospective writers go about becoming an author?
First of all, realise that it's very hard, and that writing is a gruelling and lonely business and, unless you are extremely lucky, badly paid as well. You had better really, really, really want to do it. Next you have to write something.

What qualities are needed by an author?
A determination to keep at it.
