I have been a member for two years, and I've learned more than I would have imagined from interacting with fellow members. I started writing a novel a few years ago, but took time out to author the short stories Trick or Tweet, The Sound, and most recently The Fun House. It's a slow process since I have a full-time job. I've found writing to be a great hobby, and the feedback available here is very helpful in making it more fun and rewarding. My writing goal is to someday be listed as a published author. I live in the Dallas / Fort Worth Metroplex with my wife, Heather. We share our home with three dogs and a parakeet.
