"Writing is not necessarily something to be ashamed of, but do it in private and wash your hands afterwards."
Robert Heinlein (1907 - 1988)
I would write something witty or interesting or thought-provoking here, but some jerk would just plagiarize it anyway.
When I became serious about studying the English language, I found my favorite time was spent reading and writing the short-form. I found that many short works captivated me far more completely than any novel, and any time I came across something bad, it was a quick escape.
I plan to include some of the work I have put together over the years. However, my own dissatisfaction with my writing may prevent anything from appearing on these pages, no matter their merit. Hell, I'll just give you titles. Knowing my luck, some dick will write a masterpiece with the same opening.
