Author has written 78 stories for Song, General, and General. Hey everybody, I'm Ben! I am a 22 year old 1L (first year law student) at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh. I have been writing songs since I was 15...but it took until about age 17 or 18 to really find my rhythm. The bands that have inspired my writings are many and diverse.. From Alkaline Trio to the Dave Matthews Band... From Greenday to Garth Brooks From The offspring to Counting Crows...From The Clash to Saves the Day...you get the idea. I think exposure to such a variety has significantly helped me grow as a writer...if you wanna know anything else...AIM name is B Lew8609 I.hope to hear from you soon I used to be "Mourning Radio", but I thought of this name, which I like better It's been awhile...but I intend to being posting more regularly again I am a devout Catholic, although my writing doesn't always reflect that, just bear that in mind before you get too upset over some things I write I appreciate all those who take the time to read and review my work! I will return said favor Peace. love, rock and roll: Ben | |||||||||||
