"Harry McGilligan" has been deleted! But I am posting a new mystery novel entitled "One Way to Get Out of Gym." I have also been posting a collection of memoirs called "Slices of Life." So check those out! (And if you want to know more about why "Harry" was deleted, click on the link to the story to see a letter I wrote explaining why.)

Hello! My name is Dylan. Of course, I have been writing formally for school since I was in Preschool, but I hadn't begun creative writing until the beginning of January when I had a story idea. And I fell in love. Since then, I have wanted to find a site to put some of my writing up on, which brought me here! I knew that I could have written for FanFiction.net, but I wanted my writing ideas to be completely original and all mine. Thus I am here. I hope you enjoy what that I put out!

-"Harry McGilligan", about a deli worker who finds his boss murdered. -- DELETED
"One Way to Get Out of Gym", written for NaNoWriMo 2009, it is about a murdered gym teacher.
