  • What is this fame you speak of?

    Well, I'm a 22 year old biology major who once asked a friend to read one of my poems. He said he liked it. But really, haven't you heard that I was awarded a Pulitzer? No, no you haven't.

    I don't really expect any fame, either. Writing is just a hobby of mine, at least it is for now, mainly because I don't think I could produce the breadth of work that would be expected of a "professional writer," so this site is just an outlet for my all too infrequent scribblings.

    I actually have a premise for a short story/novella that has a few pages to go with it, but there's little hope of me finishing that at the moment, and the moment is very long. I will say that discovering WEbook has rekindled my interest in writing, so there might be some hope for me yet.
