For as long as I can remember, I have always been creating stories. As an adult, it is the one thing that helps me transcend this world. There is no other joy than to see the world in your head come to life on a page. However, I like to call myself The Writing Scientist (for a lack of a better name.) Like any scientist, I thrive on questions such as "What if...?" My computer is my laboratory, the story is my experiment. My independent variables are my characters and scenarios. My dependent variable is the resulting storyline. In my experiment anything can happen. I am creator, experimenter, inquisitor, and audience.
