I have been writing since I was 13. I couldn’t imagine my life without it. I’ve had some formal training in college, short story writing classes and workshops. I dedicate most of my free time to write.

My day job is a draftsman for an architect, designing residential honmes and condos in AutoCAD. A good job, but I’d much rather wake up, write and enjoy the quiet life of a writer full time.

Chapter Four: Zhym What is this? Am I dead? Your soul was pure, you have been allowed to join the collective since your molecules have merged with it. Your essence is now inset with the collected body. I don’t understand. In time you will. We are the Zhym. The mass you are now a part of. The body that you have been united with. Your mind is good, we have assimilated your thoughts, passions and memories with ours. Carbon life intrigues us, yet we fear its incompetence. How long will I be like ...

Flash Fiction / I Will Stay Here
not bad, the work is engaging and zips with clarity i get a strong feeling of calm from the character as if he's trying to escape from something weighing heavily on him
Sci Fi & Fantasy / Spider's Kiss, Chapter 1
"and since telling anyone that my best friend was now a ferret was a sure way to spend my summer locked up alone in a mental hospital," <- great line 1. the narative flows naturally, i get a good sense of the charater's voice. 2. the flash backs were not confusing, you handled them well 3. the style was alright, not incredibly engaging but bearable. -my main problem with this piece is that other than the fantastic things going on like his friend turning into a ferret, i don't really know m...

Sci Fi & Fantasy / Happy Hunting, Chapter 1
Good intro very ominous. Your narrative is very descriptive but not very engaging. I get a strong sense that this is a rebel type of character who is surviving from one moment to the next, but as the reader, i'm not very interested in WHY hes doing it. the fight against the coyote is we'll written but im a little confused on why this coyote is picking a fight with him. Im not sure what to suggest for your story because im not really sure where its going. It almost feels like a modern indian n...
haha very true
