Just trying to become a better writer :) I've always written non-fiction (essays, research papers, etc)...And I've mostly read non-fiction (particularly science, Civil War history, and WWII), though I have some favorite novels ("Lord of the Flies", "The Giver") and short stories ("The Cask of Amontillado", "Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?")... Honestly, I haven't read much fiction so it's been a journey just discovering where to begin :) Ultimately, I'd like to churn out a novel. I have several ideas in mind of books I'd love to read but don't exist :)
