Taed

Back from the Literary Dead after 8 years :)

To me, writing (like music, which is my forte) is all about expression of emotion and universal truth -- a clichéd statement if ever there was one, but one from which I try to squeeze every drop of truth.

When I write stories or music, whether it's for kids, teens, or adults, I look for the right combination of emotional notes that lets everyone identify with some part of the composition. From there, I let the writing express truth about concepts or controversial topics -- I don't write my opinions, I just write the scenario and let others draw from it what conclusions they can.

Other minor details: I'm a 32-year-old separated father living in a small town in northern Michigan where I do programming and data processing for an electric co-op and play piano for two churches. Labhairt liom beagán Gaeilge since I'm part Irish, but I also speak a little bit of several other languages. In addition to "classical" writing style, I also journal the adventures of my LARP characters at the website listed below (above? sideways?).
