Hello:
Welcome to "OOOWWWWW," Writer's Cramp. This is a place where one can see what I am writing along with all the help, frustration, victories, and just plain accomplishments I manage along the way. I've been writing fairly regularly since 1991 and have dabbled off-and-on long before that time. I have to say though that it wasn't until 1991 that I really planned on becoming more serious as a writer. To that end I have made some progress (forward motion if you will) but not to any phenomonal degree. Still I enjoy the craft of writing and sharing the things I write with others.
There were many years where nobody but my family and my best friend Phil ever saw anything I wrote. It wasn't until around the dawn of the new millenium (2000) that I really began branching out and sharing the things that dwell inside the vast corridors of my mind. Still I was a bit reserved, mostly offering tidbits of my knowledge of Herpetology to various websites. It was actually around 2008 when I shared my first fiction with the world (well, the internet, but world-wide exposure sounds more dynamic). I do believe the story was "Voyeur." It was a science fiction story about a man holed up in a post-apocalyptic "safehouse" while fellow survivors leave to explore the area. Not long after a creature begins staring into the window, keeping it's non-human face glued to the shatterproof lexan pane, watching all movement inside. What happens as the hours and days pass makes up the bulk of the story.
As for what I write; anything that feels good at that particular moment. Most of my ideas center around Science Fiction and Horror but there are occasional flashes of Fantasy and, more recently, an air of mystery.
So, come on in, take a seat, and let's explore the world of writing. Maybe down the road there will be some guest blogs from other writers as well. That would truly be lots of fun!
As always...Have a Great Day!!!
The "Creature"
