I've been gone a while, but I'm back now. I'm currently working on a novel, it will be 2 years in the making as of December 17th. I'm an assistant manager at a fast food restaurant, I have a kid, and the past five years most of my writing has been on personal projects and studying writing I admire not to enjoy it but to help improve my own style. My reason for being here is to interact with other writers, learn what I can and help where I can.
