I have been reading and writing since I was old enough to hold a book and a pencil. I have won a couple of fiction awards in school, given poetry readings in college, and currently maintain blogs that include essays, humor, and poetry when I am not acting, running a theatre company, or working my 9-5 corporate gig.
I used to call myself a writer many years ago - I don't anymore...I simply consider myself someone who likes to write and hopes that someone besides myself, my family, my imaginary friends (still feeling that LSD from college) and pets think anything is worth a gander.
I am currently working on a play and hope to find more time to devote to my short stories and poetry - especially since I've found this site and the creative juices are flowing again.
Constructive criticism is greatly, greatly appreciated - I think most of us on here would rather be given that than stroked, and feel free to tell me if you think something isn't good - but please make it constructive, not blatantly hostile. That kinda takes all the fun out of sharing work on a site like this.
