Ahem. I've got a Strunk and White's and an MLA handbook right here to quote chapter and verse from. Go ahead. Make me use my BA in English as a weapon.

If you want to know how I'm doing, send me a private message. I would prefer to know highly constructive criticism. If you do not like my story - please. Tell me why that I may improve my skill.

As for myself, I joined this site way back in the heady days of college. One of my fellow alum of the same high school pointed it to me, and alas, my studies were no longer uppermost in my mind. I am a considerable bit older these days, and still waste entirely too much time upon this pursuit. Though I am far more a reader than a writer.

Also, check out my fiction press page, where I rarely if ever update (as frequently or less so than this page) under the same name.

It has been several years since last I troubled with this site, though I will admit to reading a fair deal and probably not reviewing anywhere near as often as I ought to. Unfortunately, there have been several lost computers between the last time I updated and now, as well as a move of the household. So as to where my notebooks have gone I have no clue. Or to where my own saved information that was on a thumb drive is? Well. It is a mystery indeed. I am trying to read once more Ghosts of the Past and establish what I had intended, though I cannot promise that I will wish to update it again. I will mark it as abandoned if need be and it no longer draws my interest or I find myself unequal to challenging the completion. I will admit that I have lost a great deal of heart in sharing what I write, for I had realized I venture too far upon the paths of the self-insert and I have yet to retrain myself to not use what I am automatically familiar with for the situations. My hopes may be faint and fluttering, but I keep the fires fed and one day perhaps they shall see realization. (I will also admit with the move the bookshelf with the books that I previously mentioned is much farther away and I seldom trouble to go to it. I have gotten lazy over the years.)
