Having an active brain that secretes ideas on a nano scale - the bad ones count too - and having a flawed outlook to writing's cherished bliss, I find myself drawn to the pen and her myriad ways of shaking the earth. Bring it on; the poetry and short shorts, short stories and ideas, novels and plays and scripts. My favo authors are John Steinbeck for his masterful way of handling the word "and", and Matthew Reilly - Australian, with a knack for writing the most intense action thrillers.
