About me; welcome!

It was December 25, 1994 at the tender age of 8 that I had discovered writing. My first computer was a Brother WP-3410 word processor, which, was a gift on that day. I turned it on to find that a chapter from Sideways Stories from Wayside School was written. Sadly, it was thrown out in 1999.

Over the years after 1994, I've been getting ideas and keeping them stored somewhere. Of course, I'm still asking a few questions myself to this day: does listening to music create interesting characters? What is my targeted audience? What if I run out of ideas or have writers' block?

While I may not be the next Stephen King, Stephenie Meyer, the late Michael Crichton, or whoever, somehow, I've always had a passion for writing, and that's what counts. Sometimes, I'm known to pay too much attention to detail, and am still learning the ins and outs of writing. I've also tried to do screenwriting, and I'm still learning what to do after 5 years (2004). I am also trying new tactics so I can write in people and places quicker. I've even tried basing certain characters and places off my life.

To me, when writing, there are endless possibilities. And my adventure doesn't stop there! I don't think it ever has since 1994...right?
