Hello and thank you for stopping by. I have been passionate about writing since grade school, where many of my teachers throughout the years told me that I should consider a career in writing. Writing has always come easily for me and I consider myself very fortunate to have this ability. I have taken courses in creative writing, and completed my college english training while I was in high school. My second passion is Egyptology, and I will soon be attending graduate school to fulfill that dream. My hopes for the future is to some day publish: article, story, short story, novel, a collection of stories, a blurb, a word, anything! As most writers I am too tempermental in my 'ideal writing conditions' to hope to ever make a career of writing, but it will be a life-long venture.

My stories will all be fiction. I incorporate my life experiences, but I do not write about my life. I don't know where the ideas for most of my stories come from. An idea simply pops into my head, from where I think about it and plot it out mentally for a couple of weeks before putting it down on paper. I am always looking to improve, and have finally learned how to accept constructive criticism. I'm a smartass and I think that comes across in some of my writings. I love to talk about writing and help others with their writing should they ask for my assistance.

I look forward to meeting you. I hope you enjoy my writing!
